When Erik, a Stockholm urbanite, learns that his beauty-queen sister, Susie, is missing, he goes to their country roots to look for her. But after talking to the eccentric locals -- including a shy video store clerk and a corrupt police officer -- Erik finds a woman who is not at all like the girl he left behind. Award-winning director Ulf Malmros helms this black comedy infused with hipster flair.

VIBE

A darkly funny, offbeat journey back to rural roots. It feels like a quirky, nostalgic look at small-town eccentricities and the unsettling realization that people, and places, change. Hipster flair meets unexpected truths.
