    • Synopsis
    • Kristian is a failure as an alpha male and marked by the oppressive techniques of locker rooms. He is apparently nice and gentle, but when his best friend Alex disappears after
      a night together, everything changes. Defences are torn down and some increasingly strange choices tear Kristian’s existence apart.
      Sverrir Gudnason, Malin Buska and Peter Andersson are starring in Jens Östberg´s psychological drama feature debut where the boundaries between victim and
      perpetrator are blurred.

      Director’s Comment
      Set in and around Swedish inland hockey culture, BLOWFLY PARK is a character study of a person with little value to society. We watch Kristian, mild-mannered and kind at
      first, as he makes increasingly unsound choices. But what exactly is wrong with him? There’s a line of logic between men, violence and the male locker room, where boys are
      groomed in the art of master suppression techniques - however, some will never learn. Kristian can be viewed as a failed alpha male, who finally starts to adopt aggressive
      behaviour when facing crisis and opportunity. But: is he a prowler, a dangerous outcast that should be put down like a mongrel dog - or is he a victim, the result of a heartless
      environment that awards systematic bullying? The film wants to blur the lines between victim and aggressor, between crime and punishment, ultimately pointing towards a
      grim proposition: man’s loneliness. Cut off and trapped in our own subjectivity, we will always be the victim, our actions will always be justified.
