In the unforgettable world of writer/director Lukas Moodysson's
TOGETHER (Tillsammans), a group of young people all living under the same
roof find themselves questioning their long-held social and political beliefs
as the world rapidly changes around them. "Did we throw out the good
with the bad?," "have we been too tolerant?," and "have
we not been tolerant enough?" are just some of the many things these
revisionists ponder as they make their way through the exciting and bewildering
early 1970s.At the same time, in an ironic and poignant twist, the characters
will find that despite their need for individual expression and freedom, what
ultimately drives them is the overpowering desire to belong - to be "together."
And it's this search for love and family -however unconventional and imperfect -
it may turn out to be - that gives this warm, funny, and authentic comedy its
charming and unique viewpoint.
