Claes Fellbom’s Skottet [The Shot] is about two young people fleeing from the police through a wintry Sweden. 18-year-old Ronny (Peter Schildt) has been expelled from his parents’ house and family business since it was discovered that he had abused heroin. When he meets “Kompis” [“Friend”] (Kent-Arne Dahlgren) who has just escaped from prison, Ronny is quickly drawn into old bad habits.
