This absurd and original comedy is from the brilliantly offbeat worldview of acclaimed Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson director of the acclaimed You the Living. Described by critic J. Hoberman as 'slapstick Ingmar Bergman' the film unfolds as a series of comic inter-connected vignettes which portray scenes from an urban world that has ground to a halt and whose citizens teeter on the brink of madness.

Director Roy Andersson's Special Jury Prize-winner at Cannes in 2000. A man burns down his furniture store. A huge traffic jam clogs the streets of the city. Hordes of people arrive at the airport with their possessions piled high on luggage trolleys. Respectable businessmen congregate to sacrifice a young girl. Proceeding from one absurd scenario to the next, Andersson's deadpan vision of a society coming apart at the seams has been compared to 'Twin Peaks' and Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil'.
