SHORT SYNOPSIS
A satiric punch-in-the-face comedy about the less beautiful sides of Swedish everyday life. Awkward internet dating, hidden racism, mobile phone cacophonies, failing moral courage, distressing phone calls, and computer-game rage mixed in a colorful soup made out of short scenes.
In the film, we get to see glimpses of commonly observed behaviors within Swedish society all accompanied by a high-pace beat. And some very important questions are asked. How much money should you give to a homeless person? Where is the best place to sit in a cinema? Who should act when someone falls onto the train tracks? Can you drink coffee on the subway? And what do you do when you need help this very second?
