Five stories run parallel, without interweaving. Involuntary fragments of time and space are rolled into a narrative where the stories interrupt each other: an accident at a birthday party; a bus ride obstructed by an incident; a couple of Lolitas on a night out who provoke all kinds of tense situations; a teacher determined to face an injustice; and friends playing games that border on homosexuality. With long and deep shots which refuse editing within a single fragment, a constantly still camera, and a "centrifugal" conception of the frame (expressing its whole meaning through the off-camera), Östlund's economy of resources is intentional but just, managing to create a film closer to pure style and contemplation than merely a show.
