Synopsis

Office drone Andreas (Trond Fausa Aurvag) finds himself dropped off by bus in a bleak desert and then taken to a tidy city where he is given a cosy flat and easy job. Before long he is living with a lovely interior designer and enduring an ordinary life - but something is very wrong with this strange world where you can never get drunk and it seems impossible to die. Hailed as a cross between David Lynch and Jacques Tati, this is wonderfully surreal viewing.
