Plot summary

A man wakes up in the depths of a Swedish forest. He doesn't remember who he is, how he got there or what he's doing wearing a large blue foam rubber suit. In a crazy and colourful "Retro-Sweden" we follow the blue man in his search for the real person inside the suit. Just because you're soft and blue on the outside, does that mean you're good on the inside, or could there be something in your past that you'd rather not remember?
