Whatever happened to those idealists who lived in 1968? This downbeat Swedish drama offers an answer. The story begins as a narrator tells how the corpse of his friend Stig Dahlman was found in a cellar. The narrator feels much guilt because he lost touch with Stig before his death. Now he is trying to find out why his buddy was so brutally murdered. Dahlman's life is then presented in flashback. Back in the late '60s, Dahlman had been idealistic and had much hope for a better future. Before he died, he saw visions of young men, who may or may not have been his unborn children. In the end, he is seen being tortured to death at the hands of some other young men.
