They challenged Malmö's progressive music scene and the somber atmosphere of the 1970s, shaped by industrial shutdowns, by bringing lively, blues-infused rock’n’roll that ignited a spirit of party.

Against the backdrop of Wilmer X's comeback and their first album in 17 years, Mer för dina pengar (2022), filmmaker Stefan Berg (Tusen Bitar) crafts an intimate portrait of the iconic Malmö band. Through rich archival material—including Nisse Hellberg's charming teenage films from Limhamn, concert footage from their extensive touring, and candid interviews—we embark on a musical journey spanning over forty years alongside Nisse Hellberg, Jalle Lorensson, Sticky Bomb, and Thomas Holst. While the love of music takes center stage, this is also a film about aging and lifelong friendship.
