The King of Danvikstull
a film by Cesar Galindo
------
Cosimo, a young musician, leaves his home after a broken
love affair. He isolates himself from the rest of the
world . As a sign of his sorrow he is always wearing
sun-glasses. The only way he communicates is by his tape-recorder,
microphone and head-phones.
-------
He installs himself under the Bridge of Danvikstull.
The bridge fascinates him and makes him think of Maria,
his disappeared love, who reappears in his dreams. He
starts componing a symphony to the bridge, to Maria.
But the arrival of Cosimo irritates Tompa, the bridge-guard. He is used to have
the control of the traffic over and under the bridge. In his position he feels
now threatened...
-------
¨The King of Danvikstull¨ could be called a punk-opera. It´s characterized
by a reduced dialogue. Instead the images, the music and special sound-track
tell the story of a young mans´ passion and pain.
