We recommend from the age of 16 the free-thinking commune "Together" in the Stockholm neighborhood already 24 .year continues to exist. As time passes, only two of its members remain - the leader Jērans and the slightly reserved Klaas. Following the analogue lifestyle of the 70s, the two soon realize that the millennium is approaching and that the fateful year will cause quite a stir in many systems. However, Jērans is determined to celebrate his sixtieth anniversary, not knowing that Klaas has invited those who left the commune to the celebration. None of them realizes that changes, unsatisfied drives and the idea of ​​a different common future will be able to shake the reunited team again. A sitcom bursting with the wounds of truth about the middle-aged state, where everyone is lost in the translation of their era. Known to local audiences, the Swedish director and writer Moodysson (the bold drama "Forever Lily" (2002)) returns to the characters of the 2000 feature-length dramedy - the Stockholm community - who, more than 20 years later, continue to test the limits of middle-class freedom in the melodic decadence of capitalism. In the continuation of the diptych "Together", the Malmö-born director, whom Ingmar Bergman himself called "the hope of Swedish cinema", looks with a playful, documentary-like close-up technique at what has happened in the socialist think tank and collective portrait during these 24 years. Especially when it has the internet, more independence has been instilled and everyone has become more individualistic.
