Summaries

A young man returns to his hometown to look for his missing sister.

Erik must return to the rural village where he grew up when he is told that his younger sister Susie has disappeared without a trace. On returning, Erik gets mixed up in a quirky story including stolen money, drugs, and a local policeman who prefers to look the other way.—Mattias Thuresson

When Slim Susie goes missing, her brother Erik returns to his childhood village in Swedish Värmland to try to find her. Soon after his arrival, he finds himself in a seedy whirlwind of greed, lies, and local madness. Beneath the surface, he finds that everything has changed and he can't shake the feeling that no one seems to be concerned with the disappearance of Slim Susie--not even the one police detective in town. Finally, Erik faces the disturbing fact that his image of the sweet, congenial little sister he was so fond of is something of the past - SLIM SUSIE is a gangster comedy driven by a wide range of surreal, twisted characters combined with a quick-paced dialogue. The story weaves its way deep within the small rural community in which Erik's childhood best friend has turned into a dopey video freak, the retirement home conceals a major drug centre, and the proprietor of the video store is now in fact a local "Godfather".—Götafilm
