Lars Andersson's life is about to unravel. He doesn't like his job, he drinks too much and has gambling debts over his ears. His wife has grown tired of his constant cheating, taking their two-year-old son with her and leaving him for a pizza baker. He hasn't seen his father in six years. And he hasn't heard from his mother since she ran off with a boxer twenty-eight years ago. At the same time as his creditors begin to tighten the thumb screws, his dog Torbjörn dies. Andersson has had enough, decides to leave everything behind and go home to his father in his childhood Lysehamn to bury the dog. But on the way he is brutally stopped by a debt collector who offers to trade his debts for a commission job.—SMdb
