Short description

An absurdist, surrealistic and shocking pitch-black comedy, which moves freely from nightmare to fantasy to hilariously deadpan humour as it muses on man’s perpetual inhumanity to man.

What's left behind the scenes

The film's title was influenced by Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting that inspired its creators, “The Hunters in the Snow”.
According to Roy Andersson, the film "Bicycle Thieves" (1948) served as the source of inspiration for this project.
According to Roy Andersson, Vittorio De Sica’s “Bicycle Thieves” (1948) served as a source of inspiration for this project.
The military hymn, performed several times in the film, uses the melody of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”.
