Director: Jon Holmberg
Trouble is a 2024 Swedish action comedy directed by Jon Holmberg, mixing prison-set farce with the energy of a light crime caper across a brisk 98-minute runtime.
What is Trouble about?
The story follows Conny, a recently divorced salesman whose ordinary life falls apart when he is arrested and jailed for a murder he did not commit. Once inside, the other inmates misread his background completely, convincing themselves that he shares the profession of the man his former wife is now seeing. That single misunderstanding sets off a chain of escalating complications, pushing Conny to keep up an unlikely act while learning the routines and hierarchies of prison life. Running underneath the comic setups is his separation from his young daughter, which keeps a steady emotional thread in play as the schemes around him grow louder and more absurd.
Cast & crew
The cast is led by Filip Berg as Conny, with Amy Deasismont, Joakim Sallquist, Eva Melander, Mans Nathanaelson, Dejan Cukic, Bjorn Skifs and Sissela Benn filling out the ensemble of inmates, family members and figures from the world outside the walls. The performers are drawn largely from Swedish film and television, and the shifting group dynamic inside the prison carries much of the film's momentum.
Context & significance
Produced in Sweden and released in 2024, Trouble sits within the country's tradition of broad, character-driven screen comedy, folding action beats into farce. Jon Holmberg directs a script built around mistaken identity, a device with a long history in comedy that is transplanted here into a contemporary prison setting. The film runs 98 minutes and works across three registers at once, action, comedy and crime, which shapes its quick pacing. It carries an IMDb rating of 6.1. For viewers in the Iranian diaspora, the film is available with a Persian dub, which makes the original Swedish dialogue easy to follow without any familiarity with the language.
