Plot Summary

Perhaps we have to start acknowledging the environments that leave us powerless, and we ourselves have to take responsibility. I believe that the Western way of life suppresses people's potential development. By watching this film, you should understand how foolish human behavior is. Disorder erodes people, and the situation becomes increasingly serious. "- Director Roy Andersson's ambitious and challenging masterpiece, religion, economy, generational relationships, family, love, and other issues are all twisted in a peculiar and absurd way, presenting a side that people often turn a blind eye to. The statue of Jesus swaying on the cross with one hand like a monkey, the mentally degraded old man celebrating his 100th birthday in front of guests full of ghosts, the father setting fire to cheat for money, the son insane in writing poetry and hospitalized, and the unique visual language construct the deep face of the contemporary world in the director's mind between seemingly loosely connected scenes. On a strange night in an unknown location, strange things happened one after another: undignified company employees were humiliated and laid off; Foreign immigrants were inexplicably attacked by malicious elements, and the entire bus stop stood idly by; The magician who played the game of sawing live people really ripped open the audience who volunteered to come on stage. In the midst of chaos, Karl appeared with a face full of gray smoke. He had just set fire to his furniture store and was trying to scam fire insurance money. Throughout the night, everyone was so busy that they couldn't close their eyes. The next day, the level of chaos continued to increase. The insurance company and Carl were in a tug of war, and the entire city was caught in a massive traffic jam. As everything seemed out of control at the beginning of the millennium, Carl gradually realized the absurdity of the world and gradually understood how difficult it was to be a "human". This is a loosely woven film consisting of a series of sketches, filled with dark humor. In the film, everyone becomes irrational and some unorganized and strange behaviors occur. A small employee was unfairly dismissed, a new immigrant was attacked on the street, and a magician made an inappropriate mistake during a performance. Among these strange things, there is one that stands out: Karl, covered in dust, burned down his furniture store in order to get insurance money. In the end, they realized how absurd the world is and how difficult it is to be a person. Award: Special Jury Prize at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival
