Olof Palme, the most important politician in Sweden, was assassinated by gunshot on the streets of Stockholm one night in February 1986. In the blink of an eye, Sweden was transformed. This film speaks about his life and times, how he changed history and the Sweden that he created. Through a selection of archive clips combined with interviews with Olof Palme's colleagues, friends, and, for the first time, with his entire family, this film brings the politician closer to a larger audience. A unique opportunity to access the private archives of the Palme family, photographs and 8mm films.
