Synopsis:

The incredible story of when Formula came to the little village Anderstorp in Sweden between 1973 and 1978. It all happened because of one man’s wild dreams – Sven ”Smokey” Åsberg – nothing was impossible and all methods were allowed.

”The documentary contains all the elements of a classic documentary: a good script, good directing, good archival material, and, of course, added value: both in terms of the visualization and content, it is enhanced by a strong overall tone that permeates into the entire film: it is a combination of respectful humor, self-irony and wit. In general, the film explores how sport can influence social and economic change and analyzes the historical significance of Formula 1 in a specific time context.” 2025: Winner – International Sport Film Festival, Slovenia.
