K-G has lost his foothold in life. He has no energy, doesn't know what he wants, and cannot work anymore. His wife Birgitta doesn't understand him. She works as a course-leader in personal development, and tries to teach her husband the same techniques she is teaching employees from various companies. She talks about the importance of positive thinking, of formulating concrete goals for oneself, of making time schedules, of focusing and so on. But K-G cannot grasp this. In the group she is training at the moment, she has found another man, Anders, with whom she experiences various sexual games in a hotel room. At the same time K-G is worried about the bad health of their dog Nestor. He takes Nestor to a veterinary, who says that there is nothing to do but to destroy the dog. When this is done K-G tries to get in touch with his wife, only to find her in bed with her lover. Totally lost he walks into a pond, where he lies down in the mud. Some musicians passing by ask him about the way to the local pub, where they are going to play. When he tells them he is a drummer himself, they persuade him to play with them this evening. Birgitta is in the pub with her group. When she sees her husband at the drums, she leaves Anders and starts an ecstatic dance on her own.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
