Stockholm

• Crime
• Comedy

In 1973 Stockholm, a seemingly inept bank robbery spirals into a six-day hostage crisis defined not by violence, but by an unsettling emotional entanglement. This crime comedy doesn’t focus on the heist itself, but on the baffling psychological shift as hostages develop a protective, even affectionate, rapport with their captors – a phenomenon that would come to be known as Stockholm Syndrome. The film observes this improbable connection with a dry wit and surprising tenderness, illustrating how shared vulnerability and isolation can erode conventional loyalties. Rather than a straightforward thriller, it’s a darkly humorous and subtly disturbing exploration of human connection forged under extreme duress, prompting reflection on the fragile boundaries between victim and aggressor.
