Capricciosa

Henrik is seventeen years old and dreams of becoming a professional soccer player. He lives with his parents and two siblings, Johanna and Oliver, in a suburb of Malmö. They live a happy life filled with warmth and love, but their existence is about to undergo a drastic change. Henrik's mother has been diagnosed with cancer, and one day the unthinkable and inevitable happens. Their whole world is turned upside down and the family's relationships are put to the test. Although Henrik's father tries to keep the family together, his grief over the loss of his wife becomes overwhelming and his betrayal of his children is severe.

Directed by Reza Bagher, Capricciosa leans on a strong ensemble — Linus Nilsson, Moraea Myrgren-Johansson, Matias Bergsten — 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 2003.
