Tigers (1h 56min.)

Working as a professional football player was all that Martin Bengtsson ever dreamed of. But when, at the age of just 16, this lifelong dream finally comes true, the young Swedish talent has to learn the bitter truth. Being scouted for one of Italy’s most esteemed clubs, Inter Milan, Martin faces a life of pressure, sacrifice, and loneliness in the brutal world of modern football. With dark humor, this coming-of-age drama tells the true story of a passionate boy who discovers that in the industry of professional sports everything, and everyone has a price tag. Bengtsson is strongly portrayed by Erik Enge, who won the Best Acting award at the Göteborg Film Festival for his performance in Tigers. The same festival also crowned the film as Best Nordic Film. Another successful sports drama from Ronnie Sandahl, who previously made Borg/McEnroe, winner of the audience award at the Northern Film Festival 2017.
