In the Swedish city of Lethe, people from different walks of life take part in a series of short, deadpan vignettes that rush past. Some are just seconds long, none longer than a couple of minutes. A young woman remembers a fantasy honeymoon with a rock guitarist. A man awakes from a dream about bomber planes. A businessman boasts about success while being robbed by a pickpocket, and so on. The absurdist collection is accompanied by Dixieland jazz and similar music.

Salomon has achieved everything he ever wanted. From the outside it looks as if he is living the suburban dream with a good looking wife, kids and a nice house. But still he can't get rid of the feeling that something is lost and that he's constantly drifting apart from his family. A film about love, death and God.
