An intriguing Hans Christian Andersen-style fairy tale aesthetic and voice-over narration. Sudden Wealth is a despairing chronicle of a group of starving peasants who finally seize governmental wealth like a dysfunctional group of Robin Hood's Merry Men, only to be betrayed by their inescapable selves and systematically dehumanized (think bucolic Orwell) and reprogrammed by what we'll put under the rubric of God and Country.
Superstitious 7 year old Lycke and her grandma go to pick chanterelles from their secret mushroom picking spot. On the way there grandpa tells the girl the tale of the Elf ring and it's dangers. The rowing trip back home doesn't go without trouble, and as they've already made their way back, mom says that grandpa's condition has worsened. Lycke desides to save her grandpa.
