A beloved classic returns with My Life as a Dog (2025), a heartfelt reimagining of the 1985 Swedish coming-of-age drama that captured audiences worldwide. Directed with warmth and nostalgia, this new adaptation brings back Anton Glanzelius, the original Ingemar, alongside a new generation of talent, including Jan-Philip Hollström and Melinda Kinnaman.

The official trailer opens with sweeping shots of the Swedish countryside, bathed in golden sunlight, as a young boy, Erik (Hollström), narrates his thoughts about the unpredictability of life—comparing his struggles to those of Laika, the dog sent into space. His mother’s failing health forces him to leave home and live with relatives in a small village, where he is thrust into a world both unfamiliar and full of possibilities.

Through Erik’s eyes, we experience the bittersweet journey of childhood—the laughter, the heartbreak, and the strange, wonderful people who shape his life. Scenes flash by: a makeshift boxing match with a spirited girl (Kinnaman), stolen moments of joy with a mischievous group of kids, and quiet nights staring at the stars, wondering about fate and loneliness.

But beneath the playfulness lies a deeper emotional weight. As Erik struggles to understand loss and longing, his friendship with the people in his new home becomes his anchor. Anton Glanzelius, now playing an older mentor figure in the village, delivers a poignant performance as someone who sees himself in Erik—offering wisdom through lived experience.

The trailer swells with an evocative score, blending nostalgia with the promise of new beginnings. My Life as a Dog (2025) is a tender, visually stunning exploration of youth, resilience, and the small yet profound moments that shape us.

A story of love, loss, and growing up—this timeless tale returns for a new generation.
