Songs from the Second Floor

One evening in Stockholm, a series of incredibly strange, unrelated events begin to occur. An elderly clerk goes crazy after being mercilessly fired from his job... A lost emigrant is brutally beaten on the street... A magician makes a fatal mistake right during his performance, actually sawing up an unfortunate volunteer from the audience... A confused man, who in despair burned down his furniture store, is haunted by the ghost of a strangled man... A huge crowd of important and gloomy adults sacrifices an innocent girl... There are unimaginable traffic jams in the city; Well-dressed officials walk decorously along the streets, lashing themselves with whips... It seems that the hour that everyone has been fearing for so long has come...
