Ah, Sweden: nature, mountains, blonde-haired people with flowers in their hair dancing around a freckle pole and Dala horses everywhere.Sweden is much more than this tourist poster from the 1960s. In this programme, we want to present the many different features of Swedish life and culture. You will meet Magnus, who gets into trouble by trying to be open and friendly to everyone. Alexander, who faces stereotypes and resists them. Svoni, who gets in trouble because of a rigid system. David, who wants to fight prejudice but is no better himself. Clara, who returns to her origins with new insights. And also with the women's toilets, where they face life's various challenges. Explore this diverse country - from north to south, from city to country, from majority to minority - poetic, rough, beautiful, absurd, funny and thought-provoking. That's Sweden!
