A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence

Like a modern-day Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Sam and Jonathan, two traveling salesmen peddling novelty items, take us on a kaleidoscopic wandering through human destiny. It is a journey that unveils the beauty of single moments, the pettiness of others, the humor and tragedy hidden within us, and life’s grandeur as well as the ultimate frailty of humanity. Following masterpieces Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and You, the Living (2007), this is the eccentric Swedish director’s “final part of a trilogy on being a human being.”
