Sweden is a constitutional monarchy: Elias Giertz is a journalist who is working for the newspaer "Expressen" and he has followed the royal wedding of the princess Victoria with Daniel: Matthias Lungberg, is the pastry chef who maked the wedding pastry of the Victoria and Daniel wedding: the Swedish monarchy tries to be a model for the Swedish society: also the monarchy has changed his rules and now the princess Victoria is the heiress of the throne of Sweden.
Sweden is the country of the allemansrätten, the right of the public access to the wildernerness: the Swedish people have a deep relationship with the nature: the families with their children escape from Stockholm to stay on one of the islands of the Stockholm archipelago: there they make camping,they walk through the islands or practice kayak. Also some people like Dagmar Wuod-Maggero live in their island from mars to october.
Besides we discover the life in the island of Husarö: Henrik, the manager of the grocery of the island is living all the year on the island, in the summer there are about 900 inhabitants in the islands and his main products are the licorice candies and the fishes eggs.
The ethnologist MAttias Frihammar tries to explain the Swedish happiness: Sweden haD enough economical ressources to fight for liberty and progressive ideas : besides the Swedish people are care for the moderation (in Swedish langom): the rich people don't show their fortune.
The Swedes enjoy very much the summer solstice (public holiday): all the families move to the countryside: women and children pìck flowers to make flower crowns, they have have meal with herrings, they drink schnaps , they eat strawberries, there are dances and songs: on this moment young men encounter young women.
I forget to mention the parental leave : husband and wife can share the parental leave (10 months) and studies have showed that the couples who share this parental leave are stronger.
I appreciate the zoom about Abba, the winner of the 1970 Eurovision contest, since this the Swedish music has become stronger: Swedish music producer have promoted Justin Bieber, Madonna, Brittney Spears and Justin Timberlake for example; besides the Swedish has helped community vocal schools and now there many local vocal groups in Sweden.
I enjoyed very much the encounters of Sophie with Sophie Mayard, with Kalle Eskilsson (Swedish Royal Guard), with Martina Tortensson (civil servant of the Royal Swedish Guard), with Sofie Jorsell, with Will Soraa, with Maria Jorgenssen and her daughters and with Ingela Bendt (the allotment gardens); very nice encounters with very kind Swedish men and women.
