Bert Ruins Everything

See the tender coming-of-age comedy Bert Ruins Everything from Swedish director Manuel Concha.

Based on the iconic Bert Diaries books from writers Anders Jacobsson and Sören Olsson, Bert Ruins Everything follows teenage best friends Bert (Axel Adelöw) and Åke as they embark on their school-mandated internship week between 8th and 9th grade.

Bert ends up at Tippen, his classmate’s family-owned restaurant. There, he meets Molly (Matilda Gross), a captivating prep cook and falls head over heels. All’s well that ends well – if it weren’t for the fact that Åke is also in love with Molly. Weaving an intricate web of lies and navigating an extraordinary love triangle over the course of the week, Bert finds himself careening towards an explosion, and risks losing both his best friend and his great love in the process.
