Iron boys
200 years ago 90% of the Swedish population lived on countryside. Today 85% of the population lives in the city, due to tough living conditions, lack of jobs and education possibilities many decide to move to the cities in search of an easier life. The sound of home is the wind rushing through infinite tree tops, splintering ice echoing through the cold, announcing the return of the inexhaustible darkness. The isolation seems suffocating but these boys have been born into this silence, there's a familiarity to it. Isolated groups of kids grow up in the forests all around Sweden. Having nothing but space, harsh winters, unending summers and each-other, a bond is forged. Like brothers they traverse the wild as if it were theirs to keep, depending on each other and their machines to keep them going. In the Swedish village Järnboås a group of boys now almost men deal with having to leave and go their separate ways. Leaving the brotherhood forged since young and the freedoms the forest provided.
