Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Raven's End (Kvarteret Korpen) is a 1963 film from Sweden directed by Bo Widerberg.The story is set in 1936 in the low-income Korpen district of Malmo. Anders, who has just turned 18, is a dreamy young man who has hopes of being a writer. His home life is not particularly happy. Anders' father is a drunkard, a man who once had a career as a salesman but lost it. Now he occasionally scrounges for odd jobs but spends most of his time trapped in a bottomless well of self-pity. Anders' mother resents her husband for his failure, but doesn't seem willing to do anything about it; she is left to provide a meager living for the family as a cleaning lady and by taking in laundry. Will Anders break free from this cycle of poverty and failure, or will he get stuck in Korpen like his parents?

The Alcoholic: Anders' father, who is routinely drunk during the day. He says that he can't break out of his depression, and he doesn't even care about anyone else, because he is sealed off by "twenty years of aquavit".

Broken Pedestal: Anders bursts into tears when he tells his dad about how he, Anders, used to admire his father, before his father was a drunken failure. Anders specifically remembers how his dad knew more about soccer than the other dads and explained the offsides rule to young Anders.

Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Anders' father, who used to be a salesman but is now a hopeless alcoholic failure. At the beginning of the film he's been reduced to distributing advertising fliers, and at the end he's walking around with a sandwich board advertisement.

Awful Wedded Life: Anders' parents seem stuck with each other. His father is an alcoholic failure, his mother was unfaithful, and they have fallen into a sort of tired dislike.
