Historia
Roy Andersson (born 31 March 1943) is a Swedish film director, best known for his films A Swedish Love Story (1970) and Songs from the Second Floor (2000). More than any other, Songs from the Second Floor succeeded in cementing his personal style – a style characterized by long takes, absurdist comedy, stiff caricaturing of Swedish culture and Felliniesque grotesque. He has spent much of his professional life working on advertisement spots, directing over 400 commercials and two short films, but only directing four feature-length films in three decades.

Inspirada en el cuento de "Las mil y una noches", la celebrada colección de historias de oriente medio y de historia india, la película busca ser una yuxtaposición de las distintas etapas que un ser humano atraviesa en la vida. Desde los momentos más preciosos de la existencia hasta el despertar intelectual que nos lleva a tratar de guardar la vida como un tesoro y a compartirla con aquellos a los que amamos.

Self
A mediados del siglo XX, se produjo un fenómeno único. Un desgarbado sueco, a punto de cumplir cuarenta años, comenzó un período de producción cinematográfica sin precedentes. Entre 1957 y 1963, filmó algunos de los más grandes clásicos de la historia del cine, produjo varias creaciones teatrales para las tablas y la radio, y dirigió seis películas para televisión. En el mundo del cine, Ingmar Bergman es un personaje único e inimitable.
Himself
Harry Schein was an anomaly in Swedish cultural society. Equal parts playboy, intellectual, and political visionary, his life story could very well be the foundation of a Hollywood film. Citizen Schein is a film about a refugee who refused to look back, a film about powerful men, and the myths that fuel them.

Himself
s a 2011 documentary about Swedish film director Roy Andersson and his unique way of making films. Shot during the four-year-long filming Andersson's 2007 film You, the Living, the documentary is a personal description of a surprising and different approach to the creative process. Roy Andersson has invented a working method of his own in order to achieve control over the work in process, but he is ultimately dependent on his young co-workers.

Screenplay
Todos los seres humanos tenemos momentos de grandeza y de miseria. En función de lo que nos va llegando tomamos una actitud diferente, pero siempre necesitamos a los demás para vivir. Ésta es una comedia trágica sobre el hombre en estado puro, sus comportamientos en sociedad, sus pensamientos, sus preocupaciones, y sus deseos de amar y ser amado. Una galería de personajes recurrentes desfila por situaciones cotidianas, a veces surrealistas, para mostrarnos su particular filosofía ante la vida.

In a minor town the morose manager is primarily responsible for the bad atmosphere of a restaurant. But central for the plot are three persons: a male waiter who is never named (here called W), the female waiter Anna, and "the count", a self-invented nickname by a man cleaning plates. The count is skilled in making others do what he wants. Half a dozen of the personnel assist in a poorly planned and failed attempt to liberate a man whom the police move from one arrest to another. The event involves stealing a motorcycle and threatening policemen with a gun. Anna strongly tries to make contact with W. Finally it turns out that she need his help to break her sexual relation to the count, a relation that from her part is not motivated by positive feelings. W rejects her attempts. And then Anna has suddenly gone. She has got a pleasant job in another town. And then W's feelings awaken.
