Harry Schein was an anomaly in Swedish cultural society. Equal parts playboy, intellectual, and political visionary, his life story could very well be the foundation of a Hollywood film. Citizen Schein is a film about a refugee who refused to look back, a film about powerful men, and the myths that fuel them.

Ester Henning (1887-1985) was a Swedish sculptor and artist who spent 60 years of her life in mental hospitals. She was poor, in bad health mentally unstable and spent only four years in school before she had to earn a living. But from her closed world she created expressive and appreciated art.

During his five decades as an artist, Carl Johan De Geer has playfully leaped between genres and art forms such as painting, children's television and literature. All of it with a powerful political commitment and a large measure of absurdism. In CJDG, we follow his work on exhibitions in New York as well as Stockholm.
