Oberättat

Six episodes about people who all live on the fringes of society. Documentary filmmaker Staffan Lamm pauses before some events in his life. He talks about his family with his schizophrenic uncle as a common thread. The maternal uncle's illness has haunted and worried Staffan over the years, and he reflects on the impact of the legacy and how it inevitably leaves its mark on social life, work and dreams.

Directed by Staffan Lamm, Oberättat leans on a strong ensemble — Göran Lamm, Staffan Lamm — 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 documentary titles of 2006.
