Synopsis

PETRA & PETER is a family drama about consequences of both alcoholism and adoption for two very different siblings. We follow Petra, who is adopted from Guyana, and her Swedish brother Peter parallelly for five years. They are grown up and now living separate lives. But they have one thing in common - both want life to be something else.

PETRA & PETER wins New Doc-award at Tempo Documentary Festival 2020!

Motivation of the jury: This year’s winning film ties a bow around reality about family, history, heritage and the environment. The film does not claim to provide any general answers to existential questions, but instead we are led into an open exploration of two siblings who were once invincible, but who in various ways fall victim to their baggage. What do you do when you are finally left alone with your story? How do you deal with things that cannot be satisfied?
