Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson's film is nominated for four Guldbagge Awards, including Best Film and Direction.

The documentary, which follows Filip Hammar's aging father Lars on a journey to his beloved France, is this year's most seen Swedish film and was previously selected as Sweden's Oscars entry.

However, "Hypnosen" and "The Swedish Torpedo" have the most chances of winning with eight nominations each, including Best Film and Best Female Lead.

Neldén receives the nomination on her 40th birthday.

It was a great 40th birthday present. I was incredibly happy and started crying a little. It's so many years of hard work, and that everyone's work gets so many nominations feels huge, she says.

Debut Film

"The Swedish Torpedo" portrays the Swedish swimmer Sally Bauer. Filming the water scenes was physically challenging, and Josefin Neldén underwent one and a half years of swimming training.

What have you learned from Sally Bauer?

To swim! No, I've become very inspired by her determination and goal-orientedness.

"Hypnosen" is a satire about corporate culture where a hypnotist livens up a conference by hypnotizing Asta Kamma August's character. The film is Ernst De Geer's debut, and he got the idea from the feeling of discomfort when people change.

Unpredictability in people close to you is very scary, people who suddenly start behaving differently, then it's hard to know how to react. And I'm probably afraid of not knowing that, he says.

But the goal was not to make the scenes uncomfortable.

We just thought about what we think is fun in a film. We might have a sense of humor that it's fun when it's uncomfortable. It's probably something Scandinavian.

Newcomer Prize

Bianca Kronlöf is also nominated for Best Lead for "As Long as the Heart Beats" where she plays a caregiver who raises the alarm about inadequate coronavirus care.

When I read the script, I felt how strange it was that I hadn't seen films from elderly care. This says something about our view of elderly care, but also about our own aging, she says.

The two remaining spots in the Best Film category are taken by the documentary "G21 – Gottsunda" and Levan Akin's drama "Passage", which takes place among trans people in Istanbul, and has seven chances of winning.

This year's gala will be broadcast on January 13 with Shima Niavarani as the host. A new feature is the Guldpigan award, which will be given to the year's best newcomer.

Best Film: "The Last Journey", "The Swedish Torpedo", "G21 – 21 Scenes from Gottsunda", "Hypnosen", "Passage".

Best Direction: Ernst De Geer, "Hypnosen", Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson, "The Last Journey", Levan Akin, "Passage", Loran Batti, "G – 21 Scenes from Gottsunda".

Best Female Lead: Asta Kamma August, "Hypnosen", Bianca Kronlöf, "As Long as the Heart Beats", Josefin Neldén, "The Swedish Torpedo", Mzia Arabuli, "Passage".

Best Male Lead: Filip Berg, "Strul", Herbert Nordrum, "Hypnosen", Pål Sverre Hagen, "Släpp taget", Robert Gustafsson "Jönssonligan kommer tillbaka".

Best Female Supporting Role: Andrea Edwards, "Hypnosen", Eva Melander, "Strul", Lisa Carlehed, "The Swedish Torpedo", Liv Mjönes, "As Long as the Heart Beats".

Best Male Supporting Role: David Fukamachi Regnfors, "Hypnosen", Jonas Karlsson, "Jönssonligan kommer tillbaka", Magnus Krepper, "Jakt", Oscar Skagerberg, "Ur mörkret".
