Run time: 107 min. | Sweden
A warm and humorous drama full of depth and originality set in the far north. Rille a 16 year old is ostracized and bullied; a nobody. Everywhere, that is, except in the ping pong room. There he rules; he is the King of Ping Pong. His younger brother Erik is charming, respected and loved by all. Despite the profound difference between them, they share the same blood; at least that is what they both believe. When they learn the truth about their father during their spring break, they become bitter adversaries engaged in a life and death struggle. Join us immediately following this screening for a celebration honoring tonight's film and Sweden's contribution to the world of filmmaking. The post party is hosted by Design Within Reach and will feature bar hosted by Absolut vodka and Karl Strauss beer.

I saw this at the Sundance Film Festival and it was my favorite!!! I enjoyed it the way I loved My Life as a Dog, Fanny and Alexander, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and Cinema de Paradiso
