Gondolen is a multi-plot film about a young writer from Stockholm possessed by his theory on light and darkness- a metaphor for people connecting. We follow him and four other characters who through their own vanity and various conflicts eventually prove his theory to be right.
In an attempt to rectify their criminal past, a once successful Hollywood starlet, turn prostitute, and a petty, misogynistic thief, set out together to solve a high profile child abduction case in San Francisco.
