SynopsisThe story takes place in the summer of 1995 outside Gothenburg, Sweden, during the rise of neo-Nazi violence that was sweeping across the country at that time. It is the true story of a real teenager, his friends and family. John is caught up in defense of a student who is being bullied in school. As the conflict with the bully escalates it soon causes strains between John and his friends. While John is trying to win back his friends, the bully joins a violent neo-Nazi gang. This also casts a long shadow over John’s plans of a future motorcycle vacation with his girlfriend and his training for the upcoming national canoeing championships. The conflict escalates to threats of murder and finally becomes a national issue. His courageous actions transformed John Hron into a symbol of heroism and his name is iconic in Sweden even two decades later.
