Director Johan Löfstedt has previously done the cult classic mockumentary Conspiracy 58, but this is his long film debut. In this film about the broad questions; life, relationships, and the choices you make, Löfstedt directs his own family, and everyone plays themselves. We follow Björn and his four sisters who finds a video greeting from their deceased father, which leads Björn to challenge his greatest fear in life. Sofia Olsson at Kulturnyheterna rates the movie 5 out of 5 and describes it as “A truly unique film experience”. Jens Peterson, Aftonbladet, writes: “this is so low-key and casual that it feels like a documentary. A skilled illusion”.
