Under trottoaren - stranden
(Beneath the Pavement, the Beach)
Directed by Henrik Hellström
Sweden 2024
Swedish - 75 min
Two brothers, stuck in a role-play arranged by their elderly father, will soon embark on a final adventure. An HR-manager at a medium-sized company dreams of self-fulfilment. A school teacher deals with anger issues and a security guard struggles to make ends meet. Five people are moving towards a collapse. Boundaries will dissolve and social skills will be tested. In order to find the way out, they need to crawl inside…
After Man tänker sitt (Burrowing, Berlinale 2009) and The Quiet Roar (Rotterdam 2014), Swedish auteur Henrik Hellström is back with a new mind-bending experiment, rooted in situationism.
