JOHAN
London 2026
Four brothers. One city. Zero chance of behaving.
The Fixture
A 50th birthday so big it requires
an entirely different country.
When your brother turns 50, you don't just throw a dinner party. You pack four Swedish men onto a Ryanair flight and aim them at London for a weekend of football, pubs, and questionable decisions.
