True Blue

"The blue colour of Malmö FF was dropped into my eyes by an angel when I was born."

These are the words used by writer Björn Ranelid to explain the feelings a devoted fan has for his team.
This documentary presents the supporters of Malmö FF, who will do anything for their team whether they win or lose. True Blue fans don´t mind if they have to drive 1500 miles to Croatia for a cup match to cheer on their team, no matter what weather may be. The film also presents the players, both young and old, and their dreams and disappointments. The board of directors, who rule with their power and money, try to please both their players and their True Blue Fans.
True Blue is a film for anyone who ever supported a team, be it Malmö FF or any other.


True Blue - in love with a fotball team

True Blue is a film for anyone who ever supported a team. A passionate documentary about the life of and around Malmö FF, the team with the skyblue outfits, that is the most succesful football club ever in Sweden.

The main character in True Blue is Lasse Nilsson,  a 27-years old supporter who is unemployed and who never misses a match.

The film has been cherished by the Swedish press, especially for it´s dark humour: ”Beautiful, poetic, enchanting and funny” -   the daily Aftonbladet. Svenska Dagbladet claimed - ”A Fever Pitch from the south of Sweden”.

Metro, described True Blue like this: ”It´s a film more about people than football and it´s so full of compassion and humour that even people with no interest in sport whatsoever, will love it.
