Casper and the Forbidden Movie
Casper och den förbjudna filmen
It is 1948. Finnish Baron Casper Wrede (1929–1998) meets an extraordinary man in a café in Oslo. The man is Amund Hönningstad, a philosopher who tells the young Casper that, in the future, politics and religion will lose their importance and be replaced by theatre. Then the great mystery would be passed on to the next generation through actors alone. Hearing this, Wrede decides to become a theatre director and moves to London. The documentary traces the footsteps of Casper Wrede, meeting some of his old colleagues and questioning why One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is still banned in Finland.
