Way of the Flounder

In the Nort Sea a flounder is hiding in the seaweed. The flounder feeds on mussels and small shrimps. Many dangers lurk on the bottom of the sea but the flounder is clever. One day the flounder is caught in a net and pulled up on a trawler. It dies on the deck. The fish is now entering a new phase of its existence. The flounder travels on, though life has come to an end.

Directed by Johannes Stjärne Nilsson, Ola Simonsson, Way of the Flounder leans on a strong ensemble — Mats Lindblom, Elina Du Rietz, Jean Häckinge — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2005.
