The Greenest Grass

In the atmospheric neighborhood of Möllan - Malmö’s vibrant artists' quarter - Sasja and Olivia’s marriage has hit a rut. He is bored to tears in his job as a health inspector, while her artistic dreams seem to be going nowhere. However, when Sasja unintentionally beings an affair, something remarkable happens: it breathes new life into his marriage. Terrified that his wife will never forgive him once the truth comes out, Sasja concocts an absurd plan: he needs to get Olivia to cheat as well, thereby evening the score. In a desperate attempt to save his marriage, he tries to set her up, but the plan goes haywire, leading to unforeseen consequences. The Greenest Grass is a warm and sharp relationship comedy about unexpected feelings, which cleverly manages to maintain a light-hearted tone despite the extramarital relationship theme.

The Greenest Grass marks the directorial debut of Kim Sundbeck. The director combines classic rom-com energy with a modern look at love and self-deception. It was the opening film of the 2026 Bergman Week on the Swedish island of Fårö, was selected in the Spotlight section at Filmfest Munich and screened at the Norwegian International Film Festival. The lead roles of Sasja and Olivia are charmingly played by Vilhelm Blomgren and Anna Asp.
