- Synopsis
- In the port of Malmö, a storm is brewing as young car enthusiasts gather to burn out their tyres. In a rain-swept Gothenburg a youth football coach shouts instructions to the kids.
  In a brutalist Stockholm car park, a man injects amphetamine, and in the Gulf of Bothnia an 8,000-ton icebreaker ploughs rhythmically through weather-worn sullied drift ice.
  Vintersaga is a truly cinematic, Hopperesque look into everyday lives. In 24 meticulously framed situations it vigorously observes both the trivial and the grand, mostly human stories, with a rich blend of souls juggling doubts, memories, and dreams. Ultimately the bitter cold winds shape a nation towards a bittersweet melancholy.
