- A black comedy shaded a little towards yellow-green. Julia Eriksson is a 25 year old girl who has been working in different service occupations, like most young people. Although she is indeed educated, she can't get a real job in her profession due to the current situation on the job market. When she is once again unemployed after a short deputy job, she decides to attend to her situation herself - she is starting her own business. Whilst not having any real money to begin with, she turns to the government's employment agency to apply for a grant to start her own company, a service available in special circumstances in Sweden. Employment officer Ove N Dahlman is a man who does his job, and he's good at it, too. He gives people real work and he's proud to help. He knows that he is good at finding "the right man for the right spot" and has no thoughts whatsoever that people would in fact have any will of their own. It is to Ove that Julia comes this cold winter morning. As if it the clash would't suffice, Julia had forgotten all about her meeting and happened to drink a few too many beers the night before. Obviously, she's not at all set for the happening...
- It's self-evident for any democratic society that everybody should be able to walk freely in the streets. But sometimes it seems like we're only welcome as spectators and consumers in public space. If you're not pleased with the city and like to change it, there are no obvious rights; on the contrary, there is plenty of prohibition. Some people take the street - and the law - in their own hands. Their works are often called vandalism - but also street art. Who are these mystified people, and what do they want? In the film City Rights we follow a couple of active Swedish street artists on adventure. They tell about their works and aims, and about their view on public space. It becomes apparent that street artists often are citizens who take an active interest in and have a razor-sharp analysis of society. They believe they take responsibility for our common grounds, instead of harming it. If you listen to the street artists, the rights to the city is highly diminished, and is more about traditions, money and power than about democracy. Apart from Swedish street artists, we meet with doctors of art and city planning, and representatives of the community and the advertising business.
- A commentary concerning the war against Iraq in 2003.
- It's freezing cold in the Öresund strait in winter. Even though the thermometer not often shows anything below a couple of degrees minus, the barometer is set on a raw humidity and the wind is pushing on from the North Sea. Would you get the idea to jump into the pitch-black Öresund naked in these circumstances - without nothing that even looks like a sauna nearby?
