Sophelikoptern
The Garbage Helicopter

Somewhere in Sweden, a gigantic dumpster breaks loose from a heavy chain suspended underneath a big helicopter. The dumpster hits the ground with a terrible crash. Meanwhile, an aging Roma woman wakes up in her house with an enormous longing to get her old wall clock back. The clock has been at the clockmaker’s for over a year. She calls one of her grandchildren who solemnly promises to bring the clock back to her.

Two days later, three Roma youths climb into a car in order to take the clock to their grandmother who lives 1030 km south of them. A strange journey along Sweden’s long, winding highways begins and it proves to be very rich in content despite the rather trivial purpose.
