Plot

The film is set in a small industrial town in Värmland, where a young man returns to his hometown from Stockholm to investigate the sudden disappearance of his sister. He initially has little success with his inquiries, performed through the rekindling of brief acquaintances with the odd characters of his youth, and he eventually forms a picture of what has happened.
