Alle hater Johan

A film about the life of Johan Grande, a loner who has an unusually great passion for explosives. He is never completely taken into the heat of the local environment. Titran in Trøndelag becomes almost like a separate character in the film. We follow his struggle for belonging in the village and the lifelong, unrequited love for the girl next door, which he accidentally broke a little in his youth. Everybody Hates Johan shows a brilliant chemistry between Pål Sverre Hagen and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, and follows them over many years. It is Trøndelag humor at its best in a film with odd characters and a beautiful story. (The Norwegian International Film Festival)
