It was not among my projects when I came to Sweden to talk about this issue but coming from the Baltic countries where it is difficult to see this type of situation, especially in Latvia which is where I live, the fact of meeting a country reaches notoriety before my subjective gaze different from what I had imagined.

Sweden is an example of how the romantic idea of a world without borders is transferring external conflicts to the interior of societies.
And the thing is that we are all different, but when those differences are delimited, coexistence is lasting.
The reality is that at first glance, immigrants seem to be integrated without conflict into the consumer society that is Sweden, you do not see marginality or destitution in them, but not everything is what it seems.
There are entire neighborhoods and areas of the cities where I have captured these images in which the film seems to be filmed in Sweden, but with protagonists and supporting actors from a non-Swedish company.
Some chronicles and testimonies speak of problems associated with this demographic change. There is a lot of material on RU-vid and other networks regarding this topic.
Then there will be the statistics and opinions, which always serve to divide. What is indisputable is that it is real that in Sweden there is a brown face.
It is not my interest to judge the positive or the negative of what is happening here. It is not the society in which I live or in which I will live, it is enough for me to document what passes before my passing eyes.
Sweden remains a Nordic, developed, inclusive country, which has surprised me only superficially.
The questions are many but the answers exceed my capacity for momentary analysis.
Are all Swedes aware of what happens inside their kingdom? Will Sweden be able to maintain its model for long? Will the latent internal conflicts not overflow at some point? There is tension in the environment.
