Plot

The Supporter is a short film that provides an insight into Swedish supporter culture. Through its main character Axel we are drawn into a world of dependency, affirmation and violence. Hooliganism is an ever-present phenomenon, reported on daily in the media. We see how a more organized criminality blends in with families with children and ordinary fans. And all the time we ask the question: 'how close is this violence to ourselves?'—Anonymous

"The Swedish Supporter" begins just after the game has ended for the football hooligans - in the back of a bus full of policemen. We follow Axel, a young fan, who gets dropped off in the middle of nowhere together with older and much more experienced hooligans.
