- Per Oscarsson's directorial debut about a lonely man who quits his factory job to truly "live life" for the first time. It becomes a tragicomic, absurdist odyssey through Stockholm's underbelly as Ebon encounters demonstrations, bars, churches, and society's outcasts while searching for genuine human connection.Oscarsson creates a Christ-like figure whose attempts at compassion — helping drunks, defending the vulnerable, seeking love — are consistently misunderstood by an indifferent urban landscape. 78 minutes. Color. English subtitles. Presented in a new 4K restoration by the Swedish Film Institute from the original 16mm negative, 16mm print and 16mm magnetic tape.
