Premiered at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, as part of the Un Certain Regard selection, YOU THE LIVING is a fluent succession of short sketches, each filmed in one take. Most of them have a tragicomic undertone.

"YOU, THE LIVING is about the human being, about her greatness and her miserableness, her joy and sorrow, her self-confidence and anxiety. A being at whom we want to laugh and cry for. It is simply a tragic comedy or a comic tragedy
about us" Roy Andersson
