In a back room at Berns' restaurant in Stockholm, a knot of broke journalists and painters argue past midnight about art and the lies the city runs on. That is where Arvid Falk turns up, having just torn up a government post he never had to work for, certain he can live on his pen and his convictions alone.

It was an evening in the beginning of May.
The Red Room, August Strindberg
