Free love, vegetarianism, and the appropriate Marxist approach to doing the dishes are all on the agenda for endless discussion in a leafy suburb of Stockholm in 1975. The round the clock antics of the leftist commune
Tillsammans become even more chaotic when Elisabeth arrives with her two young children after leaving her drunken husband Rolf.
Director Lukas Moodysson's touching characterisations and lively humanism in

However, a little red wine and an open heart often do help smooth things over.
