    Old now (two years) but still damn good. A group of people (non-actors) plan to jump off the 10 meter tower jump in a public swimming pool in Stockholm.
    Their short conversations, their behavior is really anxiety inducing in a way even if you don't see the drop - just the way they look at it and talk about it.

    It has some drama in there, some inspiring bits and some romantic bits (the young couple with the boy going "If you fall, I fall Frida" / "Faller du, Faller jag Frida" is a bit too cute) and well worth a watch.

    A movie about fear and bravery in the mundane but always relevant.

    Silly trivia - Frida and Linus (the young couple) aren't saying "See you on the other side, see you in heaven" but "see you in Nangijala" which is the fictitious place people who die go to from one of the darker kids books of writer Astrid Lindgren (two boys, brothers, die, one trying to save the other who's terminally ill and later die and they meet in Nangijala to fight a Tyrant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brothers_Lionheart ). Its often used by kids to describe the possible afterlife and the term "see you in Nangijala" is often used for children or pets who've died on tombstones and similar.
