Fantasterna portraits outsiders who have created magnificent works in various places in Sweden. Driven by a strong need for expression or a prophetic obsession, they have made eccentric creations in the form of images, constructions, embroideries and sculptures. Staffan Lamm has encountered them during his life and tries to reproduce what they meant to him as spiritual companions.
