INDRIVAREN. WHEN THE MAN COMES AROUND

REPRESENTED BY KFF

Shrouded in a heavy mist, an old Fisherman casts his fishing line from a pier into the dark ocean. An obscure man – the Collector – stands at a distance, with a pocket watch in one hand and a protocol in the other. His eternal duty is to be present at a specific time and place to oversee that Death occurs according to plan. When the Collector doesn’t indulge in gathering souls and register them in an anonymous and antiquated office, he uses his time to exist among the living - in the park, at the café and in the privacy of their homes. Every day is the same as the next, until he meets Amanda. Through her, he finds meaning in his meager existence. But when he learns that Amanda doesn’t have much time left, he is forced to make a crucial decision.
