Synopsis:

The programme, 'Världen's modernaste land' ('The most modern country in the world'), is a reflection on what it means to be a Swede. Lindström has chosen to burrow into the deepest crevice of them all: the Swedish psyche. Over seven episodes the timeless riddle that is Sweden will be broken down into its constituent parts and slowly unravelled. The programme considers the theory that the Swedish mentality is premised on two opposites: complacency and insecurity. According to Lindström and his historian sidekick Peter Englund, Swedes tend to trust in the notion that Sweden is one of the best and most modern countries in the world. But these same people also view themselves as tepid and boring when viewed in an international perspective.

Is Sweden the most modern country in the world? And are Swedes the most insecure people on this planet? These two questions are central to a new series on SVT.
