In this soap-powder animation, ten-year-old John theorises on the miracle of space travel and speculates as to what the future might have in store.

On the plains of Dalsland, Sweden, long-time married couple Lena and Gunvall are living in retirement. At first sight, they are just an ordinary couple doing their daily chores and bickering about little things. He pops off to the neighbour for a drink, she stays at home, fixing the food. Gradually, however, we realise that something is gnawing at them. Something has happened that they won't talk about, but the memories and unstated accusations linger in the house.

Old people in Sweden live in increasing isolation and solitude. A film about old age and loneliness.
