Join the Roskilde Festival, one of the biggest and most renowned music festivals in Europe.

For years the festival has aroused excitement around the world and with this film the audience will get an intoxicating feeling of being right in the middle the festival's here and now. Get close to musi-cians, audience and the hundreds of people who work behind the scenes on Europe's biggest festi-val.
With exclusive access, in front of and behind the scenes, ROSKILDE creates a musical image of the atmosphere through the eyes of the artist, the volunteer and the guest when a simple ploughed field is transformed into a musical cen-tre of energy in which the ecstasy culminates and boundaries are crossed.
ROSKILDE tells an elaborate and colourful story of the festival; the story of a parallel universe in which 130,000 people seek out the same ecstasy; the story of the extraor-dinary atmosphere which satura-tes the festival and makes it all possible. It is a portrait of a gene-ration and a festival that have grown up together and where the core is made of human diversity and room for the individual.
