Genom eviga turnéer och ikoniska låtar som “Teknikens under”, “Vem får nu se alla tårar”, “Spela under hot” och “Om en hund mådde såhär”, blev de en självklar del av det svenska folkhemmets soundtrack. Nu, 45 år senare, när bandet står inför en efterlängtad comeback ställs medlemmarna inför nya frågor om tvivel och åldrande. Svensk dokumentär från 2025 av Stefan Berg.
