An anxious disconnect colours the lives of the three characters newly arrived in a remote community beset by wild boar. Each character is seeking something, informed and propelled by ideas taken from culture and society, but much like the wild boar, what they desire is evasive and undefined. Told with an inviting and haunting calm, this poetic modern fable explores relationships between people and nature and the capacity to create and destroy.
We sleep as we walk, walk as we dream. In the rain everything is close, familiar. I can almost sense the melody of old addresses. The names, the parishes, Siggalycke, Björnehult, Hornanäs, Hornanäs. How much time, how much time does it take to turn into a sleepwalker how many times must I repeat myself in order to create a pattern? This is where the wild boar become a part of the fauna again. Here on this barren, stony soil where they were once driven to extinction, they were re-introduced and fenced-in some hundred years later by a baron with a hunting lodge. A nice complement to the meagre hares and deer, once again a natural part of the forests of Sweden. The wild boar want to leave Småland, want to get away from home, but to no avail: they only go around in circles.
