In 1972, the Swedish Socialist Party published the “Family of the Future” manifesto, setting out a vision of a world of free, equal people, where all ties of economic dependence would be gone. Women were supposed to free themselves from male authority, the elderly were not to have to rely on good will of their grown up children, while the youngest members of the society were to have full rights and care provided by the State. The director observes Sweden as it is now, presenting the multidimensional consequences of these solutions.
