Paradise Road

Sometimes you wake up with an idea you had in your dreams and you cannot forget it – it grows into a vision that you cannot escape by any means. The film captures its' director Tomas Smulkis as he embarks on his quest to meet Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson and work with him. As the journey evolves, the city of Stockholm assumes an increasingly vital role in this search for paradise. But can dreams actually come true?
