Enligt beslut

About This Movie

So, 'Enligt beslut' is this stark TV drama from '88 that really digs into the human side of bureaucracy. It follows Carlos, a refugee facing the stark reality of being told he can’t stay in Sweden. The atmosphere is heavy, you really feel the weight of the decisions being made around him. The pacing's a bit slow, but it gives you time to marinate in the emotions of both Carlos and the civil servants, who are just doing their jobs but are also caught up in a system that's often cold and impersonal. The performances strike a chord; they’re understated yet impactful, really reflecting the complexities of the situation. It’s distinct in how it humanizes a very topical issue without over-dramatizing it, which feels quite refreshing.
