Singer

A cabaret portrait of Cornelis Vreeswijk

The life of the Swedish folk singer Cornelis Vreeswijk was a stormy one, which has also been depicted in several films that have been shown and became a success in Denmark. Growing up in a war-torn Holland, starting a new school in Sweden at the age of 13 without knowing a word of Swedish, a career at full steam from day one, drinking, women, drugs, censorship, countless front-page stories, prison sentences, tax evasion, liver cancer, a premature death. Yes, he knew how to burn his candle at both ends.
