Ruben Östlund writes and directs this satirical comedy drama starring Claes Bang, Elisabeth Moss and Dominic West.
Christian (Bang) is a curator for a prestigious art museum in Stockholm who is putting together a new installation entitled 'The Square', a space symbolising trust and safety where everyone in society looks out for one another.
While Christian hunts for his expensive stolen possessions after being the victim of a petty street crime, the publicity campaign for the museum's new exhibition begins to gain unintended viral attention.
