Ulf Malmros—the Guldbagge-winning Swedish writer/director behind films like Den bästa sommaren, Smala Sussie and Tjenare kungen—returns with Grannfejden, a comedy-drama sparked by a small-town neighbour conflict that escalates into full-scale chaos. The film stars Robert Gustafsson, Kjell Bergqvist and Tuva Novotny, and opens in Swedish cinemas 20 February 2026.

For the soundtrack, composer Oscar Fogelström recorded the music entirely live, leaning into a subtle folk tint while keeping everything warm, melodic, and approachable—driven by acoustic colors like violin/cello, piano, acoustic/ukulele guitars, with touches of banjo and resonator guitar, anchored by live rhythm. The result is intimate, human, and full of “players-in-a-room” charm—music that lifts the story with warmth and character.
