Carl Johan De Geer is a Swedish artist, designer, writer, actor and filmmaker. He is unique. Art, film, photography, textile printing, books. An multi-artist who never ceases to develop, renew, surprise and calm. A film about Carl Johan holds many stories, from the advent of the fabulous Meyer-ateljéerna and the creation of the movies and TV series, which we will never see again in childhood depictions with the grandmother a Nazi and the mentally ill mother.
At the end of August 1973, a robber takes hostages at the Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg. A week or so later, on September 15, King Gustaf VI Adolf dies in Helsingborg's hospital and Sweden gets a new king: Carl XVI Gustaf. In Chile, the military takes power and the popularly elected president Salvador Allende is overthrown. That and much more in this column about the year 1973.

Harry Schein was an anomaly in Swedish cultural society. Equal parts playboy, intellectual, and political visionary, his life story could very well be the foundation of a Hollywood film. Citizen Schein is a film about a refugee who refused to look back, a film about powerful men, and the myths that fuel them.

Author and tennis legend Björn Hellberg was promoted from contestant to permanent Oldsberg sidekick in 1995 after winning for four straight seasons.
