Evil (Ondskan)

Tough love meets J-Giallo through the lens of a Swedish Tarkovsky wannabe. Stockholm 1956, Erik’s fresh expulsion forces his mom to ship him to Stjärnsberg boarding school where the headmaster runs a charm-free meritocracy. A year of caned knuckles and Arctic tolerance, buoyed by one schooled naïf who learns silence is louder than fists.
