The Bus of the Broken Hearts

A film about human failure with a humoristic touch.
The biggest ski race in the world is Vasaloppet in Sweden. 16 000 participants start in Sälen in the morning and after 90 kilometers they reach the goal line in Mora. But what happens to all the people who do not manage? They have to jump on to the humiliating ”Brytbuss”, the helping bus that transports them to Mora.
