Robota Sweden
Kristoffer Kronander, Patrik Öberg / Sweden / 2026 / International Premiere / 15 min.
synopsis
Serhiy, an elderly Ukrainian man, has not been paid by his employer. He has no contract. And, unlike the local people, he appears to have no one to stand up for him. This documentary-style film follows a group of foreigners seeking nothing more than fair treatment in a country that has long prided itself on being a democratic and open society.“The point was to shed light on the parallel reality that has emerged in Sweden — one of unpaid wages, exploitation and fraudulent companies.” — Arberaten
