Flicker

There’s something going on in the small town of Backberga. The town’s proud telecom company Unicom is just about to launch a new modern profile when they discover that there’s something lurking in the outskirts of Backberga. An accident triggers a power failure, which leads to a chain of events, mishaps and love stories. „Electricity allergies, frustating IT problems, Ted Danson fixations and the ultimate solution for arachnophobia, FLICKER sees Eklund living up to the promise of his earlier work. He extends his unique perspective to feature length triumphantly, prompting comparisons with Robert Altman, Wes Anderson and the Coen brothers in the process.”
