HÖSTMANNEN

Autumn Man

Suecia. 2010. Color. 29 min. Ficción. 35mm.

Film Director: Jonas Selberg Augustsén.

Autumn, the season when nature prepares to be reborn by dying. In this time of the year we meet two young fellows. They are perhaps not the most popular characters in the small Tornedalen community since their method of subsistence is on the outskirts of morality. Most of their endeavors seem to be jinxed as if a higher power is trying to say something about their life style. Two men, two different reactions, either bracing oneself or letting the scents of autumn open one's mind.
