My Brother

Jana Kippo returns to her native village of Västerbotten to rescue her alcoholic twin brother. In a world of old memories and hidden secrets, she crosses paths with a man rumoured to have killed his wife, Maria — the same woman who was also her brother’s great love. But who was Maria and how did she die? The more involved Jana becomes, the more she is forced to confront her repressed childhood memories.

Our take

A brilliant adaptation of Karin Smirnoff’s acclaimed trilogy, My Brother transcends the boundaries of the Nordic noir genre to establish itself as an intimate drama of rare power. Anchored by Amanda Jansson’s haunting and immersive performance, the investigation plunges us into the heart of a harsh, rural Sweden. It unspools a thread of broken bonds and long-held silences that both bind and tear apart a bruised community.
