"The Sunny Side") is a 2017 Swedish comedy-drama film directed by Felix and Måns Herngren, based on the Solsidan TV-series.

Primarily set in Saltsjöbaden, Nacka, the film follows the same general cast as the Solsidan TV-series: Alexander and Anna Löfström, who has recently divorced, their friends Ove and Annette Sundberg, who searches for a sperm donor after finding out that Ove is sterile, and the Schiller family, consisting of Fredrik "Fredde", Mikaela "Mickan", their son Victor, and their daughter Ebba, who travels to Torekov, Skåne, to visit Fredde's estranged father, Mauritz.

[5] Solsidan had a generally positive response from critics and was named the funniest Swedish movie of 2017 by Aftonbladet.

[7][8] On Christmas Eve, dentist Alexander "Alex" Löfström (Felix Herngren) and Anna Löfström (Mia Skäringer) announces to their friends Fredrik "Fredde" Schiller (Johan Rheborg) and Mikaela "Mickan" Schiller (Josephine Bornebusch) that they will divorce.

After Viktor shares some socialist beliefs, Fredde drives to Ove's house to find his estranged left-wing father, Mauritz Schiller (Sven Wollter).

Mickan, hearing that Mauritz has a summer house in Torekov, eventually manages to coerce Fredde to go.

After the Schiller traveled to Torekov and met up with Mauritz, the film returns to Ove and Annette talking with doctor Matilda Beckman again, where they decide to begin looking for a sperm donor.

Ove and Annette asks David to be the sperm donor, which he considers, leading to an argument between him and Anna.

In Torekov, Mickan invites several local socialites and celebrities to a drink, while Fredde finds out that Mauritz has heart problems and may not have long to live.

Anna, getting increasingly fed up with David, ends up calling Alex at the drink, saying that she misses him and wishing that they could get back together.

The film cuts forward to sometime later, showing that Mauritz has died and his funeral is held, which is attended by the Schiller family, Alex, Bella, Ove, and Annette, among others.

[11] Another new cast member is Sven Wollter, who portrays Fredde Schiller's left-wing father, Mauritz.

Incidentally, Wollter has shared communistic beliefs, similarly to his character, which Herngren stated was irrelevant to his casting.

[15] Karsin Svensson of Smålandsposten wrote that, under the film's "dynamic" dialogue, lay a more "gray and sadder" plot, which she stated was especially present during Alex's scenes.

[17] Solsidan had a positive commercial response, grossing over $12.4 million in Sweden, making it one of the highest-grossing Swedish films.
