Sandby borg is an Iron age ringfort in southeast Öland. Archaeological
excavations has revealed that a massacre took place here in the 5th century.
This has gained international attention.
As well as now this was a time of great upheaval and migration.
Sandby borg is a beautiful place and Bodil has a good relation to it since she was
a child. But the ringfort is also a tough place to relate to when you know its
history.
Bodil has had a dialogue with Sandby borg for a long time and worked on the
theme "place and memory". Fragments, words and thoughts have evolved into
poems that have inspired this film.
