Overview

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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A kaleidoscopic parade of strangers' fleeting moments, dreams, anxieties, small joys, collides with jazzy soundtrack in vignettes so brief they barely register before vanishing. It's like channel-surfing through other people's inner lives.
