Förvandla Sverige
Director
This is what the filmmakers say about the film: We wanted to make a feature film about the class society Sweden. But we were not allowed by the Swedish Film Institute. At least we filmed some and cut it together into a short film. The class society is included. And a lot about the meaning of the work or lack of meaning. Because that’s what it’s about: the power over our work. That can be discussed based on this film. (Filmform)
