Sweden Today

It’s a film about our stress-ridden lifestyle and how it affects our daily decisions. The film’s director, Peter Magnusson, has been following eight different people across Sweden for several years. They all stand out with a peculiar approach to life. For one Stockholm resident, the most important thing is a career and a bank loan of six million. And here the young couple chooses to live without electricity and water supply and moves to live in the Swedish forests. An experienced farmer "writes" political views in his fields ... All these people have chosen their way of life deliberately, but does that necessarily mean more freedom for them?

"One leg was in people's homes, the other - in a new individualized future. I have followed the daily lives of several people in this elongated country, from the Sami in the north to the farmers in the south, ”said director Peter Magnusson.
