The odd, poetic Giliap, a chamber play with actor Thommy Berggren as a day laborer who lands employment at the Hotel Busarewski, is a marked departure from the spirit and style of A Swedish Love Story. A once elegant establishment now run by a meticulous but sadly out-of-touch supervisor, the hotel maintains a strangely rigid hierarchical order with its few employees. It is Giliap's visuals, however, that give the film its special power.
