Happy End is a fairytale for adults. It’s about five people with an important liaison to one another, who are all avoiding to be truthful. They are living in a world of shadows, lined by lies and falsities and are only waiting for the truth to appear so that they may be able to continue their lives in another direction. Happy End is the third part of Björn Runge’s trilogy of liberation, commenced with “Daybreak” and “Mouth to Mouth” about people who are trying to liberate themselves from destructivity.

Grounds for decision	Filmen skildrar ett antal olika människor som lever under svåra omständigheter, och deras kamp för ett bättre liv. Framställningen präglas av en mörk och ibland hotfull stämning och innehåller flera inslag av grov och realistiskt skildrad misshandel. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn under 15 år.
