Somewhere Else

Running time: 101 mins

"Just as man is the measure of all things ... each place is the center of the universe. " Welcome to Borunda, the center of a very strange universe, indeed.

Borunda seems like a small town anywhere, absolutely ordinary, a nice place to live. And it is. Or is it? The people here are like people everywhere, and yet something about them is curiously off-kilter. And one fateful night, in a chain of almost unbelievable events, all their lives will intersect, and things will never be the same again.

Immensely entertaining, deeply heartfelt, yet hilariously absurd, this is every downbeat Swedish film ever made, inhabited by Raymond Carver's dourest characters, all of them gone quietly Lewis Carroll mad. A true film event, Somewhere Else is like nowhere else you've ever been.
