Summaries

A depressed and mentally ill social worker uses the local youth-gangs as a tool to murder bureaucrats- holding them responsible for the degraded state of their city.

After losing his son in a traffic accident and his wife to mental illness, Harry moves to a gloomy Stockholm suburb. A local youth gang is harassing the neighborhood and Harry comes up with the idea of hiring the gang to kill the bureaucrats who are responsible for the construction of the suburb. The film is a fierce critique of the political project of building suburbs designed only for workers to sleep in and also want's to have a say in the debate over nature vs nurture.—H. Merin
