"Why are there so few people in Sweden and wouldn't it be nice if more foreigners moved in?" - Poster, SVITJOD 2000+

That is the question asked in this short documentary about the empty country in the north of Europe. Sweden contains only eight million people, though much bigger than e.g. France or Spain. Why? Is it because it's far away? Is it because it's so cold? Is it because they don't want any more people there?

Why is it that people are so afraid of change?
