Ten years after documentary filmmaker Tom Alandh started filming homeless drug addict Pia Sjögren, he makes his third and final film about her. Pia was 14 years old when she started smoking cannabis and using drugs. Then it all happened really fast. The heavier drugs, the men who beat, and years of cold nights in basements and attics. Treatment and punishment. Rehabs and prisons. Relapse. Constantly back, at the complete bottom, among shame and guilt. For ten years, Tom Alandh and photographer Björn Henriksson documented Pia's life. Two films were made, this is the third and last film, which shows how she managed to get clean against all odds.

Dag Vag was formed in the late 1970s. It all began when frontman Stig Vig was given a guitar to play in his prison cell, and before long, the band took Sweden by storm. The members themselves described their music as "transcontinental rock-reggae," and they produced hits such as "Dimma," "Musik," and "Rulla på." Stig Vig passed away in 2012 following a long illness. This film traces the band's journey from start to finish through unique footage and clips from a bygone era. Friends and colleagues share their insights into the band's significance and musical evolution—including their legendary tour with Ebba Grön—featuring appearances by Joakim Thåström, the band members, and others.
