Andreas Öhman

Director and writer Andreas Öhman has devoted most of his life to the arts, and to refining his style and expression in filmmaking. He is known for making endearing feel-good films, always striving to achieve new visual perspectives, and for his warmhearted narration that goes into everything he does.

In 2010 he debuted with his first feature film Simple Simon/I rymden finns inga känslor, starring Bill Skarsgård, which became an immediate success with viewers and critics alike. Simple Simon, written and directed by Öhman, was selected as Sweden’s nomination for the Academy Awards, and was among else nominated at the Guldbagge Awards for ‘Best Film’,  ‘Best Screenplay’ and ‘Best Actor’.

The success from Simple Simon paved the way for Öhman’s career in Film and TV, and the following years he made the feature films Bitch Hug/Bitchkram (2012), Remake (2014), Eternal Summer/Odödliga (2015) and directed the crime thriller series 100 Code. 2020 saw the premiere of Öhman’s first TV project as a creator, the nerve-wracking thriller series The End of Summer/Den sista sommaren, for which he was writer and director.

Andreas Öhman’s anticipated feature film One Day All This Will Be Yours, which had its world premiere at Göteborg Film Festival, is released in theatres in Sweden today February 3.

The cartoonist Lisa and her siblings meet at the family’s farm in northern Sweden after the parents called for a meeting. They announce that only one of the children will inherit the forest, which the family has owned for generations. But are any of them willing to move home again? The visit rips open past traumas in Lisa, who is wildly confused and going through something of a crisis, and who manages to both mess things up with her father’s closest friend and agitate the whole community during her mother’s birthday party.
