Farväl Falkenberg - The most thrilling and depressing excerpt from this movie

Music: Erik Enocksson - The Sea Waltz

The film presents five childhood friends in their twenties who have grown up together in the city Falkenberg. The movie chronicles what they call "their last summer" in the town, faced with the prospect that sooner or later they have to move up to Göteborg. Their lives in Falkenberg currently circle around nothing and each other: Holger, who seems to be the central figure of the five, faces fears of moving away from his hometown and becoming cliched; his brother John, grumpy and lazy; Jesper, the only member of the group who already attempted to move away from the town, but ends up coming back nevertheless; Jörgen, who is in the process of setting up a catering business, but without much prospect; and David, the sensitive loner and Holger's best friend, whose diary serves as a narration for the story. The film offers vignettes of the seemingly empty lives of the five: wandering in nature, dealing with the parental expectations, swimming in the sea and burglarizing homes (although more as a pastime activity opposed to a financial source).

At the climax of the movie, David wraps up his diary and mails it off to Holger. He then packs up a shotgun, goes out to the forest and commits suicide. Holger is initially distraught, but eventually, as David predicted in his diary, "life goes on" and the remaining friends settle back into their former routine of killing time and facing their inevitable prospects.

This movie is in my top 5. I discovered it in an independent film festival here in Argentina.

I think what really makes this movie great is the fact that it's simple, no special effects, no 3D, no big budget, and it looks like anyone could go on a make a movie with very little money. You just have a simple but very interesting script, and a beautiful photography and you have a wonderful movie.

That's awesome, you don't see this in Hollywood, and this really worthy the time you spent watching it.

It's called Farwell Falkenberg (Farväl Falkenberg in swedish). You can get i from Piratebay or whatever. It's pretty hard to find it to buy.
