You, the Living

Du levande

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.

Nominated for an Un Certain Regard Award at Cannes Film Festival.

"You, the Living suggests that we would do well to discover the joy we find in each other that so often goes along with the pain." - Kevin Thomas, The Los Angeles Times
