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.
