Linje Hopp

Director: Martin Bergh
Producer: Milla Bergh
Status: in development

The short documentary Linje Hopp follows Nisse, Ove, and Owe—three Swedish men undergoing radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Each morning they board the same patient transport bus from Varberg to Borås. What starts as an awkward ride marked by silence and worry slowly transforms into a space of unexpected connection.

As Nisse approaches the end of his treatment, he’s filled with uncertainty. What happens when the routine ends? Will the bond between the men last beyond the bus ride? With his guitar in hand, Nisse begins writing a song about their trips on Linje Hopp. The film explores the strength of community and the hope it can create in the face of illness.

  • A patient lies on a medical table with feet elevated and supported, about to undergo treatment in a high-tech radiotherapy machine labeled “Vero.” The sterile, white room hints at precision and care—capturing a quiet moment in a hospital setting.
  • Two older men sit side by side on a bus, wearing seatbelts and chatting as twilight settles outside the window. One man looks over with a warm expression, suggesting familiarity and shared stories.
  • A white-haired man with glasses lies back, smiling, while gripping a blue exercise ring with both hands—captured during a physical therapy or training session,
