Sweden 2: Slices of life
Seen from abroad Sweden is the incarnation of many virtues. Tolerance, comprehension, consensus, ecological consciousness, it is seen as the ultimate in a progressive land. However, far from the collective fantasies and postcard clichés, this program opens a window on Swedish society and questions its mores, its contradictions, and uncovers the issues that are woven through it : slices of Swedish life to give us a different way of seeing our northern neighbor.
In collaboration with the Swedish Film Institute.
