The Swedish Theory of Love

The Swedish Theory of Love

The film is an attempt to face the stereotypical and extremely idealistic perception of Sweden (and the Nordic counties in general) as a land of happiness. In his film essay, the director Erik Gandini tries to verify this view. Looking for a flaw, he explores the true nature of the Swedish society in minute detail. It turns out that absolute freedom and complete independence are accompanied by loneliness and alienation.
