An Honest Life is a coming-of-age thriller based on the novel by Swedish author Joakim Zander. The film follows Simon, a law student who falls in love with an anarchist and is drawn into a criminal underworld. A riveting tale of the intoxicating allure of rebellion and life free from societal norms, An Honest Life explores themes such as deceit and social hierarchy, prompting viewers to question their own complicity in a society defined by inequality and what it truly means to live an honest life.
Director Mikaël Marcimain told Netflix, “After several period projects, I wanted to create a contemporary film that is thrilling, rawly sensual, and loaded with social critique. […] It’s a captivating anarchic love story with complex characters, which should allow for a filmmaking approach that blends classic and punk rock styles.” The main roles are played by Simon Lööf (Threesome), Nora Rios (Kalifat), and Peter Andersson (Millénium, The Guilty).
