You, the Living

Set in the Swedish city of Lethe, this film unfolds through a series of brief, deadpan vignettes that capture the lives of various characters. Each segment lasts only moments, showcasing a wide array of experiences. A young woman reminisces about an imagined honeymoon with a rock star, while a man awakens from a dream filled with bomber planes. Meanwhile, a businessman boasts about his achievements, oblivious to a pickpocket stealing from him. This absurdist tapestry is enhanced by the lively sounds of Dixieland jazz and similar musical styles, creating a unique viewing experience.
