Show detail Hide detail

Light hearted television fictional feature in the style of a 1920's silent movie, which takes a look at the perils of modern city living through the experiences of Bjorn, a New York City poet who lands a new job as an insurance agent despite the fact that he has no respect for the corporate rat race. We follow our hero through an intricate dance crossing city streets, coming home to his loyal family, undergoing a job interview, and roller-skating through a supermarket. While on a subway, Bjorn encounters the evil villain of the plot, who exposes him to the seedy night life of New York City, explores North American society's obsession with materialism in the form of stacked consumer goods in a department store, and re-appears when Bjorn and his family take a trip to an amusement park. Finally succumbing to the monetary temptations of his new corporate job only long enough to enter through the firm's glossy revolving door, Bjorn suddenly comes to his senses and re-emerges to live the life of a free-spirit.
