Stockholm My Love Page #2

Synopsis: Stockholm My Love is a city symphony, a love letter to Stockholm, the fiction debut of director Mark Cousins and the acting debut of musician Neneh Cherry. It follows one woman's footsteps through the streets of her native city, on a journey of recovery from a bad thing that happened to her exactly one year before. It's an exploration of grief, identity and the power of architecture and urbanism to shape lives, and a celebration of the power of walking and looking to make us all feel just a little bit better. With new music by Neneh Cherry, old music by Benny Andersson (of ABBA) and Franz Berwald, and images by Christopher Doyle and Mark Cousins.

This is reminding me of something.

In the bible it says that there were

cities set up as refuge-

-for accidental killers.

People like me.

People who're

afraid of being ostracised.

Some were real cities in the real world.

Hebron and Golan were

two of them, I think.

The mother of the

high priest in the cities-

-gave clothing and food

for the accidental killers.

They lived there. Out of sight

Like refugees.

Atoning.

I turn away.

I focus.

And what do I see, Gunnar?

Maybe that's, me?

The insect woman.

Climbing over stuff.

Renewing myself.

Putting one foot in front of the other.

Maybe that's me.

All this walking.

I should go home and face the music.

I liked spending time with you, Gunnar.

If only I could...

Your light, Stockholm.

It has come.

It's the best thing about you,

the coming of the light.

Can I talk to you in a different way?

I thought too much yesterday.

So I'll just look and listen today

I don't mind where the day takes us

And we can sing songs together

A world shift

Show me your face

I was here yesterday.

This swimming pool.

Is this happiness?

I'll give it a try

Don't watch me

Is this happiness?

Naked swimming

Freezing water

To shock his body

To get his blood pumping.

Your lighthouse

I love it

50000 light bulbs were

made here each year.

This glass box was lit up at night.

This song's for you, my love

Ok

Let's go.

You know where.

I don't cry when things happen.

Tears come later.

That was my plunge in the sea.

My skateboard.

Thank you

I've come here all my life

Where has my happiness been?

Your old people, Stockholm.

They barged through the years.

All the seeing I've done.

So much of what I've seen is you.

Your snow

The dusk light it brings.

No city's more silent when it snows.

Your rain

Remember that downpour two autumns ago?

What was I looking at?

It doesn't matter

I was looking

Looking at you

Look at you now

You just keep going

Sanctuary

Refuge

Say something

Say something.

My happiness is coming back

Something overtook me a year ago.

Shame and fear

I thought I was a modern person.

But primitive feelings took over.

I can look at them now, though.

I have both in me.

You have both in you.

You're my lifeboat

Thank you

Shall I dive in?

What do you look like

from under the water'?
