In the aftermath of the abolition of the Monarchy of Sweden, the Palace in Stockholm has been converted into an art museum. Christian, a curator at the museum, finds his progressive world view shaken when his mobile phone is stolen. While managing a space intended to show a new installation piece, he utilises a public relations company to promote the new installation, creating no end of chaos.
“A suavely merciless take-down of the decadence of the contemporary art world.” (Owen Gleiberman – Variety)
