Gunnar Hall Jensen

Madhow was born in Calcutta but has lived in Norrland for 49 years. He works as a traveling salesman, selling plastic bags to small business owners across the region—including pizza makers, florists, bakeries, fishmongers, machine operators, furniture makers, and vegetable growers. We follow 77-year-old Madhow on one of his trips through Norrland as he sells to, stays with, and socializes with his long-time customers, from Husum to Kiruna.

A 20-year film project following a father and son takes a dramatic turn when the Norwegian director faces his own life-altering crisis.

Fellini and football. Gradisca and Volpina. Mommy's boys, loose dogs, macho men and strong women. Milan, Rome, Venice, Amarcord, mi recordo, - I remember. What makes you happy? What are you afraid of? How could life have been? Throughout his childhood, the director has longed for Italy, and now he is making a journey from north to south that we can join. Italy's living room is the coffee bar, so of course we meet our everyday heroes there, some are cut out of a Fellini movie. Here we listen to hopes of lottery winnings, talks about football, but also reflect on the great existential questions about what the future can bring.

A "musician" explores how sound can be used for healing, as a weapon, and how the Nazis attempted to control the world by manipulating global audio standards.

Plagued by depression, diabetes and alcoholism, and always searching for greater meaning-any meaning, Gunnar Hall Jensen travels to the spiritual promised land of many soul searches-India. It is there that he hits rock bottom, yet he soon emerges from the darkness with a new outlook on life.

In the remote Norwegian woods, a filmmaker with a bleeding gut, a lovesick farmer, a lumberjack with a heart condition, and a depressed elk-hunter unite in the ceremony of drinking tea. A dark documedy about disease, disorder and death. Who says existentialism can't be funny?
