Twin Brothers, 53 Scenes from a Childhood

Gustav and Oskar are twin brothers, yet about as different as two people can be. 53 separate scenes in chronological order feature the brothers as they grow up.
The long period of shooting, together with the family bond, provides us with an incomparably intimate portrait, in which we experience the whole process of growing up from very close by. Twin Brothers, 53 Scenes from a Childhood is a film about leaving childhood behind. About the secrecy, openheartedness and pain that childhood involves, along with its many wonders.
Each of the 53 scenes making up this film are chosen for their distinct merit, moving beyond traditional portrayals of childhood by rejecting the framework of an overriding story. Instead, the scenes are like snapshots in a family album - images that capture the specific moments but also demonstrate the passing of time. Life is not a story. It’s a collection of moments and events.
