The Supporter is a short film that provides an insight into Swedish supporter culture. Through its main character Axel we are drawn into a world of dependency, affirmation and violence. Hooliganism is an ever-present phenomenon, reported on daily in the media. We see how a more organized criminality blends in with families with children and ordinary fans. And all the time we ask the question: 'how close is this violence to ourselves?'

Tove, a troubled young woman, is contemplating suicide when she meets Jesse, a carefree vagabond. She agrees to remain in his company on one condition: he must help her find heroin.
