70´lerin sonu, Stockholm... Örnek ütopik toplum... Siyasal tarafsızlık ve atom enerjisiyle el ele vermiş cinsel devrim ve kafa karışıklığı... Devlet binalarıyla sırt sırta veren seks kulüplerinin, striptiz gösterilerinin ve diskoteklerin baştan çıkarıcı, göz alıcı ve leş dünyası... Kahramanımız genç Iris gücün her şeyi satın alabildiği bu acımasız dünyada henüz yolun başındadır. Başkanın Adamları, Akbabanın Üç Günü ve Serpico gibi 70´lerin meşhur siyasal gerilim filmlerinden esinlenen, kaybolan masumiyetin peşinde koşan bir dram.

"Dificult People" - About the production process when Suzanne Osten directs the theater play ”Difficult people”, written by Nils Gredeby. It is a play about people who fail in their professional careers by ”being difficult”. It all starts with the author attending a course about how to spot the difficult people and how to fire people who sabotage or create problems at the working place. In the process the ensemble has to face questions about how we view our fellow human beings and who is considered expendable.

"It's simple! We do as we're told." This disconcerting reply comes from a Swedish employment office employee when asked how the country’s most unpopular government agency works. And that’s not all: in this creative documentary, case workers, receptionists and psychologists reveal how the Swedish employment system is failing. They complain about inadequate software and mystifying error messages, excessive caseloads and demoralizing results—on average, each case worker helps just 10 people find work each year, and only one in 10 clients will find a new job. To assure the anonymity of the interviewees, they're all represented by cardboard puppets. Thanks to visible puppeteers, expressive eyes and recognizable gestures, these puppets quickly take on the appearance of real people. The result is a fascinating, comical and artistic study of human strategies to get along in an irrational bureaucracy.
