Synthetic Flowers

Directed by Neil Wigardt

With Ali Sharif, Agnes Berg, Amber Mastacci, Liam Aguilar Castillo and Moa Boström

Summer is finally here, and a motley group of young people head through the Stockholm night in search of intoxication and closeness. Together they have created an oasis where they can be themselves, a group of friends with a mishmash of backgrounds and sexualities where no one apologizes to anyone. Over the course of a day, they move from forest raves to house parties, mixing alcohol and drugs with reflections on love and existence, right up to the inevitable going home. Blomster offers a playful and associative close-up of a group of young people’s search for belonging, seasoned with humor, civilizational criticism, and sensual realism.
