is the story of a retired history teacher and a hapless teenager in a backwater Georgian town, who form an unlikely alliance and go off to Istanbul in search of a wayward (trans) niece, very probably caught in the web of prostitution. The film, written and directed by Levan Akin, already made a mark when it opened the 2024 Panorama section and went straight on to win the Teddy Award at the 74th Berlinale. It has since been sold to over 50 territories and performed handsomely on the MUBI streaming platform. On Monday night at the national Swedish film awards ceremony, it scored Best Film, Best Director and, in all, four Guldbagge (“Golden Beetle”) Awards, the same total as Akin’s previous outing five years ago, the lauded and equally well-performing And Then We Danced [+lee también:

Akin’s classically crafted arthouse piece thus managed to beat out what’s become the Swedish box-office wonder of 2024, The Last Journey [+lee también:

, which at the time of writing boasted 400,000 domestic visitors in a territory still recovering from the pandemic and struggling to lure back audiences. Here, too, we find a retired teacher in the lead role, the quietly charming Lars Hammar, father of television comedian Filip Hammar, who, together with his co-directing partner Fredrik Wikingsson, decides to take Pappy for one last, great trip to his beloved France, with some equally hilarious and moving outcomes along the way. The film won the Best Documentary Award and, wholly unsurprisingly, the Audience Award.

, a 1930s-set biopic on long-distance swimming legend Sally Bauer, also fared well, with four solid design and technical accolades to its credit.

The 2025 Guldbagge ceremony marked the 60th anniversary of the event, highlighted by the presence of a number of previous winners, a special royal address by HRH Prince Daniel and, not least, a Lifetime Achievement Award for director Lasse Hallström, celebrating seven decades in the business and still running. Despite ignoring Ingmar Bergman’s warning about spending too much time at the Hollywood “meat factory” (where he’s had some notable success), the director of national gems like ABBA: The Movie and My Life as a Dog still retains the deep affection of the Swedish audience and industry alike.
