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.

Göranzon and Ljunggren's prickly chemistry carries every scene.

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.
