The scene is late seventies Sweden: the four-decade-long reign of the
once indestructible socio-democratic party has come to an end. Parties
on the far left begin to mobilize, hoping to overcome the prevailing
capitalist model on a national scale, but also in the streets,
factories, and small towns to the North. This is where we meet Siv: a
married mother of three employed by the youth sector of her local
socio-democratic chapter.
Without warning, Siv falls in love
with a young Maoist, Ulrik, who recently arrived from the south of
Sweden to militarize?and gain control?of the steelworkers union. Anneli
Furmark s Red Winter weaves together the story of Siv, Ukrik, and the
concentric circles of tension that slowly build around them, threatening
to disintegrate her family s foundation. Her three children look on,
noticing a shift in their mother without fully understanding it.
Siv and Ulrik drift through the season, musing on their actions, their
politics, their love, and its inevitable consequences?while Furmark s
delicate hues of blue and orange heighten the cinematic qualities of
northern Sweden s isolated landscape. Red Winter is a tale of a love
that haunts in the darkness of winter.
