In Roy Andersson's (A PIGEON SITTING ON A BRANCH REFLECTING ON EXISTENCE) new film, Scheherazade tells us about the preciousness and beauty of the "human condition". Set in the director's typical, scene-like world of ironically exaggerated Nordic melancholy in pale shades of grey and beige, various characters experience small and large, tragic and banal everyday dramas and every now and then small moments of happiness.
