Two weeks before the graduation exhibition at the art school, the new principal Jack von Rosen (Magnus Krepper) takes office. During his presentation, he presents business-oriented ideas and it turns out that he secretly represents an ancient society that wants to commercialize art. Meanwhile, one of the students, Irma (Isabelle Grill/Hilda Krepper), is commissioned by God to create the perfect work of art and thereby becomes a target for Jack and his company. The debuting directors from the collective KonstAB, however, do not let Irma stand alone in the fight, but give her support from the school’s two lecturers and not least a Danish Dadaist.

«Квадрат» — новый экспонат шведской галереи, призванный вызывать у горожан приступы любви и альтруизма. По крайней мере, так задумал куратор Кристиан с внешностью и сладкой жизнью Марчелло Мастрояни: коллеги, арт-тусовка, девушки — все от него без ума. Но когда средь бела дня у Кристиана крадут бумажник и телефон, он садится в свою Теслу и пускается в авантюру-реванш. Поначалу шутливое наказание воришек приводит к последствиям, которые заставят Кристиана забыть и «Квадрат», и его заповеди.

The girlfriend Klara has recently fallen in love and wants nothing more than to hang out with her boyfriend. The mother-of-two Anna clocks how long it takes for her husband to cook baby formula. The ex-wife Vera can't let go of her ex-husband. The feature-film debuting Katja Wik presents a squib right on the money about women's tendency to, both consciously and unconsciously, limit themselves in their close relationships of two. Each frame conveys the film's theme of power manipulation and Katja Wik's neologism "victim-mentality rhetoric" (offerrollsretorik) is used by all parties as an effective weapon. Without stagnating in bitterness, The Ex-wife serves as a funhouse mirror reflecting this disturbing trait, which most of us can recognize, but which few dare to acknowledge
A short film about women who is comfortable in their role as victims.
