Boys

When four young boys are partying in a hotel room in downtown Stockholm, the rowdy jargon takes over and the rambunctious mood switches to fear. André Vaara explores masculinity and homphobia and moves these teenage boys into dangerous territory.

Directed by André Vaara, Boys leans on a strong ensemble — Max Hammar-Lundberg, Juan Carlson, Fernando Moreno — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
