In "Becoming Zlatan" Sweden's documentary heavyweights, Magnus and Fredrik Gertten, have dug through their archives to tell a moving story about an irresistibly charismatic, cheeky young Zlatan but more so about the struggle against the constant pressure endured on the way to becoming a star. The film is a boost to all those struggling to realize their dreams and a reminder that the margins are often tiny between success and failure. (Göteborg Film Festival)
On April 28, 1945, life begins again. Hundreds of survivors from the German concentration camps arrive to the harbour of Malmö, Sweden. While they take their first steps in freedom Swedish news photographers film them. Now, 70 years later the survivors are watching this archive footage for the very first time.
