Interesting facts

Solsidan is a 2017 Swedish comedy-drama film directed by Felix and Måns Herngren, based on the Solsidan TV-series. Primarily set in Saltsjöbaden, Nacka, the film follows the same general cast as the Solsidan TV-series: Alexander and Anna Löfström, who has recently divorced, their friends Ove and Annette Sundberg, who searches for a sperm donor after finding out that Ove is sterile, and the Schiller family, consisting of Fredrik "Fredde", Mikaela "Mickan", their son Victor, and their daughter Ebba, who travels to Torekov, Skåne, to visit Fredde's estranged father, Mauritz.

Production

Solsidan was directed by brothers Felix and Måns Herngren, both of which have worked on the Solsidan TV-series, which the film is based on. Prior to Solsidan, Felix and Måns had worked together on other projects. In an interview with Swedish film-focused website Filmtopp, Felix stated that it had been relieving to have co-directed the film with Måns, due to them being able to understand each other and due to them asking "very different questions"…

Solsidan has the same general cast as the Solsidan TV-series, but also has some new cast members, such as Henrik Schyffert, who portrays Anna Löfström's new boyfriend, David Grimborg. Another new cast member is Sven Wollter, who portrays Fredde Schiller's left-wing father, Mauritz. According to Felix Herngren, he had wanted to work with Wollter for a long time, with Wollter joining the film's cast after being coerced to by his children.
