Beartown
This isn't a game.
Created by Anders Weidemann, Linn Gottfridsson, Antonia Pyk, Peter Grönlund
On HBO Nordic
A Nordic noir psychological drama that uses a small town's hockey obsession as the frame for exploring trauma, complicity, and the fracturing of community bonds.
Hockey is the last beacon of hope for the citizens of Björnstad, so when its junior hockey team makes the national semifinal, the burden of the entire town’s dreams weigh heavily on the shoulders of its teenage superstars. However, the day of the semi-final is also the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatised and the town in turmoil.
