Erik has to return to the rural village where he grew up, when he is told that his younger sister Sussie has disappeared without a trace. On returning, Erik gets mixed up in a quirky story including stolen money, drugs and a local policeman who prefers to look the other way. Written by Mattias Thuresson
This film has a nervous energy that springs from the opening moment and doesn't stop until somewhere in the last third. Dazzling narrative technique, nearly always confusing you at the start of a scene, but somehow moving the story forward at the same time. The characters in the small village are wonderfully flexible - it's almost as if they change as the film's frenetic comedy and absurd plot demand. There is a sombre undertone as well, and it's that that makes some of the moments of resolution in the film somewhat awkward, as if the seriousness were being shoehorned into a farce. This will either infuriate or drive you into gales of exhausting laughter.
