Christian (Claes Bang) is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is "The Square", an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes, it is difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian’s foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations. 

Meanwhile, the museum’s PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for "The Square". The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis. 

"Claes Bang is simply brilliant as an art museum curator in Ruben Östlund’s modern-art satire The Square." (The Variety)

"Perhaps the first movie to depict the world of contemporary art with true insight." - The New York Times on The Square in their "Best Art of 2017" 

The Square is a Palme d’Or winner at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, and an Oscars 2018 nominee. The movie received two awards at Guldbaggen 2018 as well.
