Ingen sömn på Stengatan

About This Movie

Ingen sömn på Stengatan is a raw, observational documentary that captures the essence of Luleå's nightlife. It unfolds through the lens of Mattias Alkberg's poignant song, weaving together the stories of night shift workers. You’ve got steelworkers, home service providers, a bus driver, and an unlikely guard caught in a nightly crossfit routine. The pacing feels almost languid, allowing you to soak in the gritty atmosphere and the quiet struggles of those who keep the city alive while the rest of us sleep. It’s a deep dive into the unseen world, showcasing the beauty in the mundane and the weight of sleeplessness, all without frills or dramatics. The performances here, though untraditional, resonate strongly in their authenticity.
