Plot
It's Sweden in 1975 and Elizabeth finally decides to leave her drunken and abusive husband, finding refuge in her brother's commune. The environment that Elizabeth finds herself in is a far cry from her previously suburban existence, and she quickly warms to it, only her children are less convinced, seeing as they do a world no less full of deceit and hypocracy than the life they have left. Together is a joyous movie, sharply observed, often very funny and with a satisfying feel good after taste.
