Everybody Hates Johan
An explosive comedy
Directed by Hallvar Witzø
Produced by Nordisk Film Norway, Film in Norway
A darkly comedic character study of a socially rejected outsider whose explosive mishaps and unrequited love drive both humor and pathos.
Johan, a loner with horses and explosives, is never accepted by the local community. We follow his struggle for belonging in the village and the lifelong, unrequited love for the girl next door, which he accidentally blew up in his youth.
