2060 is an absurd, love story, a kind of prison drama in an elderly care home environment, set in a future dystopia. Upper-class woman Amanda is forced to move to a poorhouse and decides to take her own life. A film about realizing what's important in life before it's too late.
Acting
Göranzon and Ljunggren's prickly chemistry carries every scene.
Production
Grotty futuristic poorhouse feels depressingly plausible.
Director
Henrik Hellström
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 45-minute runtime was deliberately chosen to mirror the shortness of life—director Hellström wanted audiences to feel time slipping away.
Sweden's real-world privatization of elder care in the 2010s directly inspired the film's dystopian welfare state collapse.
