Synopsis
Behind Blue Skies (Himlen är oskyldigt blå, 2010) is a Swedish coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Hannes Holm and starring a young Bill Skarsgård in one of his early film roles.
It's the summer of 1975. Seventeen-year-old Martin gets a waiter job at a resort on the Stockholm archipelago — anything to get clear of his alcoholic father back home. A coworker named Jenny offers one kind of education; the resort's short-tempered manager Gösta (Peter Dalle) offers another. Gösta takes a liking to Martin, pulls him into his inner circle, and gives him a fast education in how the resort actually runs — which turns out to include business interests that are neither legal nor ethical. Martin finds himself at the centre of what will become one of postwar Sweden's biggest criminal scandals.
Holm keeps the period look unshowy, which makes the darkness hit harder when it arrives. Stream Behind Blue Skies (2010) online on iFILM.
