ARTICLE (English Translation)
• It's easy to surrender to this little charming documentary about Angela and Arina in the grey Stockholm's suburb Rågsved who falls in love with Bill and Tom from the German boy band Tokio Hotel.
The film opens with a sequence where the girls crowded into the horde of girls with digital cameras at the ready outside a hotel entrance in Stockholm where the band members pass. Then Angela and Arina starts to plan their autumn holiday trip to Berlin. Tokio Hotel are at the Madame Tussauds as wax dolls.
Holmqvist / Wallgren reaches beneath the surface of Angela and Arina and gives a detailed picture of what it means to be fifteen years old, violently in love but yet awake for the existence and what the future looks like. Here is a lot of things to identify yourself in, especially the hysterical laughter that absolutely not can be stopped, and also the skeptical gaze of a mother but still the recognition for her daughter's passionate moves. "Så nära" is nominated for the Guldbagge awards 2011 for best documentary.
