Somliga går med trasiga skor

Synopsis

– There are certain moments in my life that are less flattering, but they also need to be told, said Cornelis Vreeswijk on his deathbed.

Screenings

In the 60s, the troubadour Cornelis Vreeswijk topped the Swedish charts. At the same time as his success, he struggled throughout his life with drug problems and a chaotic private life that often made headlines in the newspapers. Despite the fact that he never received Swedish citizenship, he is today considered one of Swedish music's biggest icons.

With the help of newly discovered archive material, «Somliga går med trasiga skor» draws a portrait of an artist who always wanted to give a voice to society's weak and broken.
