Documentary

Internationally Sweden is seen as a perfect society, a raw model and a symbol of the highest achievements of human progress. The Swedish Theory of Love digs into the true nature of Swedish life style, explores the existential black holes of a society that has created the most autonomous people in the world.

VIBE

This documentary offers a chillingly detached look at a society striving for perfection. It feels like a cold, analytical dissection of modern isolation, leaving you with a profound sense of unease about the cost of extreme autonomy.
