This Is Not Sweden

Mariana redoubles her efforts to make school better for Lia, but it only seems to worsen their relationship. Samuel feels that Mariana doesn't give him any attention and therefore tries to relive the life he had before he became a stay-at-home dad.

Mariana tries to repair her relationship with Samuel, whom she has neglected lately. In this whirlwind of emotions and poorly handled sexual tensions, the couple's dinner with friends ends in the most unexpected way.

Shaken after visiting Annika's for the first time, Mariana takes her family to her hometown to visit her mother. The trip brings back traumatic childhood memories and leads her to contemplate drastic decisions.

Samuel, feeling trapped in his stay-at-home dad role, desperately searches for a job while feeling tempted to seek validation in the arms of his Instagram fan. Mariana increasingly suffers from the tug-of-war between work and family life.

It's time for Mariana and Samuel to have a heart-to-heart, but instead, they resolve in an unsustainable way. Meanwhile, as the parents neglect their children, Lia does something that frightens the family.

Two months have passed since Mariana and Samuel made a drastic decision about their situation. They are still adjusting to their new life, but perhaps a local neighbourhood festival could be the place for a reunion.
