Our take

This short film from Sweden is filled with the Scandi signature of uneasy, slightly odd comedies. With a skewed house cracking their northern balance (which might be emblematic for their own wobbly relationship), the characters of Seeds of the Fall find their routine shaken, for better or worse.
