Ego (2013)

Caught in the throbbing heart of a superficial life, 25-year-old Sebastian thrives on the intoxicating mix of pulsating music, fleeting friendships, and fleeting affairs. Surface and appearance define his existence, a glittering facade concealing an unfulfilled dream of a music career and an untouched realm of true love. Life is an incessant party, a chase after the next shiny allure, until an accident abruptly dims his world, plunging him into a terrifying abyss of blindness. In this pitch-black reality, enters Mia, a personal assistant employed by his parents to guide him through the murky labyrinth of his new life. An unassuming presence he would ordinarily overlook, Mia becomes the beacon illuminating the obscured corners of his existence, her passion and humor serving as his lifeline in this sudden darkness. With her, Sebastian unravels the true essence of life, an understanding far removed from the shallow glamour he previously pursued. But the world is not always as it appears, and Sebastian's newfound enlightenment is threatened when he unearths the unexpected truth about Mia. His ego, a vestigial remnant of his previous self, stirs, threatening to drag him back into the superficial whirlpool he once reveled in. "EGO" is a captivating romantic comedy-drama that dances on the thin line between vanity and sincerity, love and lust, reality and illusion. It is a poignant exploration of personal transformation and the courage required to follow one's heart, even when it leads away from the familiar shimmering allure of the surface towards the profound depths of authenticity.

Ego is a comedy movie featuring Martin Wallström and directed by Lisa James Larsson.
