Sverige åt svenskarna

In this comedic tale set in the historical backdrop of Europe's royal courts, we find ourselves following King Gustav of Sweden as he navigates through a sea of political intrigue and diplomatic blunders. Performed brilliantly by actor Per Oscarsson, who takes on multiple lead roles, the story unravels with an interesting twist - none of these kings appear to possess the intelligence they were born with.While their European counterparts watch from the sidelines, these monarchs patiently or not-so-patiently observe Gustav's every move. As a result, Gustav's inadvertent stumblings lead him to become the crowned king despite his flaws. This unexpected turn of events sparks a chain reaction, prompting France, England, and Germany to invade Sweden with hopes of seizing what they couldn't gain through Gustav's apparent incompetence.The film masterfully balances humor with historical context, offering audiences an amusing perspective on the world of kings and emperors. It challenges our perception of history by showcasing how sometimes, events transpire not due to strategic planning or intelligence but rather by chance, making it a delightful journey that's both engaging and enlightening.
