Plot summary

"Seven short episodes where Stefan Jarl sends short films to his Danish friend and colleague Carsten Brandt. In the films, Jarl shares his thoughts on life, from worries about the environment to philosophical ideas and a meeting with the author Jan Myrdal, who shows his gigantic library. Stefan Jarl reflects over how chemicals might affect our health and meets with experts. Meanwhile, his friend Carsten is diagnosed with cancer. Stefan is distraught and wonders if it's all the chemicals around us that are making us sick." (From the Tempo Documentary Festival programme)
