The Christmas of Bananas changed everything for Nikolaj.
Christmas, 1978: Nikolaj's father christens a dinner of banana-infused dishes by quoting Nietzsche's thoughts on religion. Nicolaj might remember this most about this particular holiday, if it weren't the very same Christmas his mother is hit by a truck and dies. Innocence lost, Nicolaj sets out to create his identity—which leads to one of rebellion as he takes an interest in guitar and the punk rock of The Sex Pistols. But what will this mean for the broken family, and how will they once again find each other?

"Just as man is the measure of all things ... each place is the center of the universe. " Welcome to Borunda, the center of a very strange universe, indeed.
Borunda seems like a small town anywhere, absolutely ordinary, a nice place to live. And it is. Or is it? The people here are like people everywhere, and yet something about them is curiously off-kilter. And one fateful night, in a chain of almost unbelievable events, all their lives will intersect, and things will never be the same again.

Meet Boddi Steingrimsson. He's an incurable romantic ("But I'm on new drugs and they keep me stable.").
He's a philosopher, a poet become schoolteacher become outlaw, a rock rebelling against the wind, a force of nature on a downhill slide. He's an idealist who sees the world wallowing in materialism and greed. Returned home to northern Iceland after ten years living in Germany, he doesn't like what he sees. What he thinks the world needs is a revolution. What he wants to be is a Viking ("This is no crime story - it's a self-help manual for life itself.").

Three young boys find themselves caught up in a game with no rules and no way they can see to stop playing.
Using a series of actual events in Goteborg, Sweden as a springboard, Play presents a juvenile microcosm of role-playing, group dynamics, and racial stereotyping as older boys manipulate a younger trio in unnerving fashion. Using a simple almost anti-cinematic device to stunning effect, the film traps us emotionally inside the game, unwilling participants as much as the onscreen boys themselves.
