A luminous, deeply interior family portrait set in turn-of-the-century Sweden that balances theatrical enchantment with genuine darkness, seen through a child's eyes.

Through the eyes of ten-year-old Alexander, we witness the delights and conflicts of the Ekdahl family, a sprawling bourgeois clan in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Sweden.
