Life paths of five people cross during a few rainy days in Stockholm. Young metropolitan writer Johan, obsessing over his theory on urban light and darkness. Preppy Douglas finds himself in love with the recently dumped and currently homeless Anna. Advertising professional Jessica is denied an adoption because she lacks friends. Workaholic Thomas is distracted from his position at the cabinet minister by a randomly sent love letter. How much light do we need to see each other? And how much darkness to dare to meet? You need to unplug to connect. (Severská filmová zima)

I already knew a few of the actors and so I’ve had no issue getting used to them. Because within a few moments, there’s a crazy rollercoaster of scenes and situations the characters have to ride through to become whole in the end. And so what if it wasn’t exactly fun at times? Who can claim that the Scandinavians are boring and uninteresting people since their wallets can be three times fuller than ours? It’s only a matter of time for some sort of absurdity or a loss of appetite towards life to get thrown into the mix. And when you add it up to the cold and distant, but often honest Scandinavian nature, it simply can’t turn out bad.
