Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Forty-year-old Andreas arrives in a strange city with no memory of how he got there. He is presented with a job, an apartment – even a wife. But before long, Andreas notices that something is wrong. Andreas makes an attempt to escape the city, but he discovers there’s no way out.
The more human and lighter side (if you can call it that!) of the deadpan, morosely funny Scandinavian dystopia of Roy Andersson (You, the Living), this Cannes comedy skewers contemporary consumerist culture. An absurdist nightmare of Norway we’re happy to be caught in.
