Synopsis
A tragicomic mini-story about how the big city occupies and, at the same time, enriches one of the many human souls it finds there; it also describes this person’s attempts to free himself from his own obsessions. The director, an eccentric commentator on the events around him, rides his bike through the streets of Stockholm and, in the role of a pensive opponent of death, argues with his dead father by means of a decaying skull. This mosaic of ambivalent emotions, an original work incorporating the use of animation, above all pays tribute to the populous Swedish metropolis.
