Sixten plot

Sixten, a Swedish teenager, is overprotected and dominated by his divorced father because his mother lives in Copenhagen and he never sees her. He thinks his father should meet a woman again and starts writing on personal ads on his behalf, which sometimes leads to comic encounters. Meanwhile, during the summer holidays, he falls in love with a girl from his school for the first time.

A blessing to have seen this again! Really and truly...

Even the fact that the rip on YouTube had no subtitles didn't matter to me. Many subtitles were still fresh in my memory.

I think it must have been 1999 or 2000. The purse snatcher was on a VHS recording, and soon after the credits I suddenly saw a Swedish bus. That was a reason to let the band continue playing for a while. Resulting in a beautiful, sympathetic Swedish youth film that, as I thought back to it over the years, became enchanting. Especially that scene where Sixten and Emma take that leap of faith has always had a place in my heart.

The role of the bright Sixten was very good. The typical bullies, a nice teacher, a great father, a good friend and an involved girlfriend make a wonderful couple for a youth film. After Sixten's mother moves abroad and it seems that she wants to focus more on herself, Sixten and Jonte try to match the father to a new woman through personal ads. How that goes...

Besides the fact that the Dutch are good at it, I always knew that Sweden also stood out. Youth films that can touch you, that aren't too polished and on autopilot to just make it enjoyable and fun... but remain so heartwarming that they don't have an expiration date even for adults.

Thought I would never find this again...
