As We're Told

Vi Bara Lyder

"It's simple. We do as we're told." This unsettling reply comes from a Swedish employment office employee when asked how the country’s most unpopular government agency works. In this semi-documentary, case workers, receptionists and psychologists - all represented by cardboard puppets - reveal their problems with inadequate software and mystifying error messages, excessive case loads and demoralising results. A comical study of strategies for survival in an irrational bureaucracy.
