An absurd soap where the destinies of ten people are entwined in each other. It all takes place at a hotelroom and the story is told by the room – the observer. The video deals with the big issues of life – the thin line between sanity and insanity, laughter and cry, truth and lie. It consists of reminiscenses from movies, true life and fabricated lies.
Born in 1956 in Östersund, Sweden. Lives and works in Malmö, Sweden.
