The Call-up

The film chronicles the return of Jonsson to his former regiment, where he reconnects with old friends such as platoon leader Larsson and the music-loving captain 'Beethoven'. Although they are now tasked with rehearsing their military skills learned during conscription years ago, these comrades don't take the exercises too seriously; instead, they enjoy a lighthearted camaraderie that brings laughter and fun. Adding another layer to the mix is a female journalist who observes their training, eventually developing an interest in Jonsson's story beyond the military setting. Written by Mattias Thuresson, this film offers a compelling narrative around friendship, humor, and personal growth amidst the backdrop of a rehearsed regiment.
