Trailer & Synopsis
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Songs from the Second Floor is a beautiful and bleak poem tinged in gallows humour by Swedish director Roy Andersson. One evening, somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere: a clerk is made redundant; a lost immigrant is violently attacked in a busy street; a magician makes a grave error in his act; a man burns down his furniture company for insurance money; the aristocracy prepares for a grand sacrifice; all the while an endless traffic jam clogs the city as stock brokers rally in self-flagellation. In this series of living paintings, the absurdity of life and our modern world is laid bare.
