What happens

The Invisible (Swedish: Den osynlige) is a 2002 Swedish film directed by Joel Bergvall and Simon Sandquist, very loosely based on Mats Wahl's book of the same name. The film follows Niklas, a young and quiet man who falls short of his mother's expectations, and then finds himself attacked by a neglected young girl Annelie (she too, is metaphorically invisible) and left for dead. The next morning, however, he discovers that no one can see, hear or feel him, and anything he does to try and communicate is reversed; he is in a Limbo-like state between life-and-death, and must find out his 'murderer' and save his body before it's too late. The film stars Gustaf Skarsgård, Tuva Novotny and Thomas Hedengran in the leads. The film was critically acclaimed, screened internationally, won multiple festival awards, and was later remade in the United States by Spyglass Entertainment and Disney. Released April 27, 2007, The Invisible (2007) was the first Hollywood adaptation of a Swedish feature since Intermezzo (1936) and started the modern wave of American remakes of Swedish films.
