Overview

Swedish film about a man whose only purpose in life is to do strange things. If something isn't strange, he won't do it. One day he meets Helen, and falls in love. This puts him in a dilemma, since love isn't strange at all... Or is it? This film has everything... Loafs of bread, tooth brushes, keys, hats, a lawyer in a boat, some other people in another boat, a strangely painted cup, plastic animals in a train, real animals of various kinds, socks in the wild, the horizon, a big crazy fish (not real though), an incredible amount of whipped cream, a lamp post in love and some other stuff that you might have been waiting for.

00:29:57 So what have you done today?

00:32:32 Our neighbours had a kangaroo, and it was the kangaroo's birthday-

00:35:15 Then you'll never know how good it could have been.

00:37:43 Then you can sit there with your empty shoes!

00:39:34 Can I ask you, exactly how do these idiots annoy you?

00:42:05 -He was crying. -What?

00:43:54 Some friends and I are going out to an island.

00:48:06 Didn't we get our sins back then?

00:49:55 We are free. We are individuals.

00:55:43 Can I ask you something?

00:57:40 If a relationship can end, you have to think about what you say and do-

01:00:01 It had a tooth ache, so it had to go to a dentist.

01:02:47 -Hello. -Hi.

01:04:53 I like you, that's all I'm trying to say.

01:07:28 Fumbling through so much darkness.
