L'essere umano è sempre il bilico tra la grandezza e il baratro della miseria, tra la gioia e la tristezza, tra la fiducia in sé stesso e la paura di non farcela. Nell'alternanza tra il riso e il pianto, la vita è una commedia con un finale tragico o una tragedia piena di avvenimenti comici. In un'anonima città svedese si intrecciano le vite di vari personaggi.

You, the Living (2007)
93 min
In the Swedish city of Lethe, people from different walks of life take part in a series of short, deadpan vignettes that rush past. Some are just seconds long, none longer than a couple of minutes. A young woman remembers a fantasy honeymoon with a rock guitarist. A man awakes from a dream about bomber planes. A businessman boasts about success while being robbed by a pickpocket, and so on. The absurdist collection is accompanied by Dixieland jazz and similar music.
