The Red Line
Mira Campau / Sweden / 2026 / World Premiere / 24 min
A fascinating and original portrait of Stockholm's constant expansion and today's human hustle and bustle, told through a red metro line and its passengers.
Every day, the red metro line moves quietly through Stockholm like a large, silent metal snake. The train is a container for an endless series of narratives, thoughts, stories, and potential encounters in a world where people are otherwise increasingly separated from one another. A portrait emerges of city life and, of course, of people on the move.
Here are young girls watching reels and dreaming of becoming actresses. Here are real estate agents working far beyond normal office hours. And here are older women talking about being old. It is the past, present, and future sitting side by side, fumbling and doubting, while the subway rolls along quietly and stubbornly. The Red Line is a fascinating and original study of modern society through one of the spaces where the lines between the individual and the collective are blurred and blurred.
