Documentary following Swedish film director, Roy Andersson, around different film festivals as he tries to launch his new film  Sånger från andra våningen (Songs from the Second Floor) mixed with interviews with family members and colleagues including Benny who wrote music for the film.  

Also featured was Jonas Åkerlund who would go on to direct/edit the fabulous introduction video at ABBA - The Museum.

Sånger från andra våningen  is a Swedish black comedy-drama film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 6 October 2000 written and directed by Roy Andersson. It presents a series of disconnected vignettes that together interrogate aspects of modern life. It uses quotations from the work of Peruvian poet César Vallejo as a recurring motif. The film was selected as the Swedish entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 73rd Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist.
