Stockholm East (Swedish: Stockholm Östra) is a Swedish drama film, released in 2011 and directed by Simon Kaijser.
Plot
Stockholm East is the love story between two strangers, bound together by a tragedy that has taken its toll on both their lives and relationships. They meet and begin a passionate relationship, while both of them hide an inconvenient truth from the other. The story starts with Johan (Persbrandt) accidentally hitting nine-year-old Tove, daughter of Anna (Iben Hjejle), with his car, and killing her. Both adult characters have a hard time moving on with their life, and their relationships with their SOs suffer. About a year later, the two of them meet by chance. Johan knows who Anna is, but Anna doesn't know who Johan is - she is simply grateful to have someone in her life who she can talk to about Tove, pretending that her daughter is still alive. Slowly, they fall in love.
