About the movie:
Viktor Fredbäck is an ordinary guy from Sweden, but with an odd and burning passion for old jeans. After fifteen years of collecting, he has an almost complete timeline of jeans, from the first Levis jeans of the 1870s to flared trousers of the 1970s. One hundred years of jeans history. But he's missing a pair, a pair from 1880. And you can't find these jeans in a thrift store in Sweden, you have to dig for them in America.

The film follows Viktor on his wild journey through the desert of California and up into the snow-covered Rocky Mountains of Colorado, where he hunts for denim treasures in dangerous abandoned gold mines from the 1800th century. But the dangers lurk not only in the gold mines, but also in other collectors who want the jeans he is looking for.
Along the journey through the old American West, Viktor meets a series of unlikely characters, such as Indiana Jeans, Dynamite Dan, Cookie Monster and jeans archaeologists Mike and Russ.
