Ett hus i min famn

Documentary about the Swedish artist Anders Åberg and the depopulation of his childhood countryside. As jobs in industry fade away many houses are left empty for nature to reclaim. Anders makes scale models of these houses so they will be remembered.

Directed by Anders Wahlgren, Ett hus i min famn leans on a strong ensemble — Anders B. Åberg, Anders Wahlgren — 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 1973.
