Totos bedrifter

Thomas van Hasbroeck (nicknamed Toto) is 60 years old and obsessed with the past. He's convinced that he was switched at birth during a hospital fire with Alfred, the rich boy who grew up across the street. Through life, every misfortune Thomas suffered he blamed on Alfred. Every piece of good fortune Alfred enjoyed should have gone to Thomas. He also blamed Alfred for the loss of the two women he loved. One was his older sister Alice. Later it was Evelyne, who loved Thomas but married Alfred. Childhood and adult fantasy intertwine with reality as Thomas plots his revenge on the man who lived the life he feels was stolen from him.. Flashing forward and backward in time, we see little enigmatic memories as flashes that will later be fleshed out. Cross-cuts, flashbacks, and staccato little forays into the mind of the main character weave the film into a moving tapestry of hopes, fears, and revelations. Toto the Hero is a very dense movie, packed to overflowing with striking images and ideas that apply not only to the film's characters, but also to the audience as well.BJÖRN ALMQVIST
