The Death of an Indian Salesman 2017

Plastic Bags, Friendship and Whisky.

Directed by Gunnar Hall Jensen

Madhow was born in Calcutta but has lived in Norrland for 49 years. He works as a traveling salesman, selling plastic bags to small business owners across the region—including pizza makers, florists, bakeries, fishmongers, machine operators, furniture makers, and vegetable growers. We follow 77-year-old Madhow on one of his trips through Norrland as he sells to, stays with, and socializes with his long-time customers, from Husum to Kiruna.
