Trace all the professional life of the director in the film, he presents extracts of film and rare material that retrace a body of works immersed in the mystery, ecstasy and fullness of life.

However, the mother, who was going to the hospital at the time because of pregnancy-related pains, told Swedish channel SVT that she had a travel card with her but that she could not find.
She was taken to the hospital after the incident but returned home the next day.
According to the SVT, the police would investigate reports of wrongdoing against the security guards involved, as well as cases of "violent resistance" against the woman.
Transport Advisor Kristoffer Tamsons said the incident was "unacceptable" and that he had contacted the SL transport company.
It is understood that SL has also launched an internal investigation into this incident.
Blogger Lovette Jallow said the incident was an example of a Swede of African descent "who are victims of racial profiling and who are abused" and that it "should not surprise anyone even if the victim is pregnant".

In a statement to the BBC, SL said that the incident was undergoing a thorough investigation, but that its security agents had the right to "dismiss or apprehend the people which disrupt the order ".
"What we do know is that the woman was intercepted without a valid ticket during a ticket check and was fined," said a spokeswoman.
"She refused that and so, according to our rules, she was asked to leave the subway.
"She also refused and when she was escorted from the subway by our public security agents, she started screaming and resisting."
