Hash
What you need to know before your trail
In a small town where an epidemic of tuberculosis rages, two very different men arrive on the scene. Robert Maser is a travelling garment salesman but he’s not who he seems to be.He’s hiding one of the darkest secrets. He engages the local schoolteacher, Lars, on the bizarre quest to find world’s best hash, and together they wander the Swedish countryside. Their search for one thing however will soon result in the search for something else. But what will its discovery mean for both of them?
As their search becomes more impassioned, it becomes clear that their goal is much more than a culinary marvel, and that what they’ve really been seeking is the force of life that must present itself even in dark times.

Hash
Swedish hash, is a dish known among the peasants of remote northern villages for its delectability and restorative powers, but there is a lot of discussion as to what the best and main ingredient should be.
It’s a dish made up of meats, grain and offal, which all play their part in an elaborate process of boiling, pickling, steaming, and stewing.
