Strejferne

1980

A cold, grey drift through endless ring roads, numbing and quietly despairing, where tenderness is a luxury nobody can afford.

Directed by
Ole Roos
Genres
Drama, Science fiction
Overview
In a dystopian future, Denmark's lower classes must live as nomads—living in vans, always on the move, endlessly driving on a system of ring roads. Although they try to maintain a certain degree of humanity in their daily lives, there is no room for emotion or compassion among the wanderers.
