Rickard, his son and Eric, their grating flatmate, are three individuals that society has discarded. Adrift in a world of their own these misfits are joined by Tess, an adult actress, and their only friend Geko. What follows, lubricated by alcohol, disillusionment and anger, is a viscous swipe at every aspect of modern society, from class politics to cosmetic surgery, and an ultimately shocking denouement as their microcosm implodes. A Hole In The Heart is a brutal follow up to Moodysson's power

Seen through the eyes of a young girl, we observe her life, and that of her parents, in a Brooklyn tenement at the turn of the 19th Century. Dad is a hopeless, but loveable dreamer, the mother a hardened realist, struggling to keep the family together. Directed by Elia Kazan, who would go on to Academy recognition with A Street Car Named Desire and On The Waterfront, and taken from Betty Smith's acclaimed novel; A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is a deeply moving and beautifully evoked drama.
