We follow a gay couple that at the start of the movie for some reason (only much later in the movie we get some insight why) decides to break up, although they clearly still have deep feelings for each other. The rest of the movie we watch how both deal with this break-up. The movie is extremely slow-paced and very talkative, there is hardly any action (save for a few sexual encounters), the story is mainly told by way of observing their mostly akward and strained conversations.

The grief of both men, especially of Adrian, is made very palpable, but to be honest: it's really a bit too much. Adrian is pictured as a constantly wide-eyed, grief-stricken, taciturn, pondering autist, and it was (at least for me) very difficult to relate to him, or even to find him sympathetic, I kept thinking: come on, get yourself together, look ahead in stead of back!! Strangely enough in the very last scene we suddenly see him, apparently happy and care-free, cycling through a sunny Swedish countryside. Only one minute earlier he was totally devastated by the definitive farewell of Hampus! So what on earth happened, did I miss something?!?

Anyway, a well meant and well acted movie, but way too slow and talkative and with that unable to keep you (or at least: me) involved.

Fantastic movie from Sweden... I honestly don't understand why this movie has got such a low rate, the movie is absolutely relatable, the actors are great and they storyline really flows.

Highly recommended.

If you have ever been in a relationship that ended sadly, you will be able to empathize very well with the protagonists here. And since the actors portray their characters with such accuracy, you will feel their pain so acutely that you may indeed find it painful to watch. It might even bring you to tears. Yes, it is a downer of a film. The very first scene is the actual break-up point in the relationship, which occurs in their bed, as they discuss what has happened to their relationship and if there is any chance that their problems can be fixed. Even the bed itself becomes a point of contention, a sort of symbol of division.

As each of them returns to the modern gay dating world, we see them go through some very realistic attempts to move on with their lives. We witness a few of their dating encounters: some comic, some desperate, and some just sad. There is a very touching scene where the two of them and their respective new flames attempt to have a civil dinner party.

So, dare we hope for some sort of reconciliation in the end? Watch and see. (And look in the Special Features on the disk to see an alternate ending.)
