Povel Ramel

"Bellman Forever" - about Sweden's foremost national poet and performer from the eighteenth century: Carl Michael Bellman. Despite the fact that he died 220 years ago, he is still making researchers fight about who he was and what he meant with his lyrics. In the programme, several of Sweden's most famous artists and researchers give their contribution to our understanding of this productive genius that died poor and forgotten.

The film is based on a series of immensely popular Swedish children's books, about the boy Bert, who is just hitting puberty and having the usual problems with it. But that's where the usual ends abruptly.
