The Square is a 2017 Swedish film directed by Ruben Östlund that follows the story of Christian, the curator of a contemporary art museum in Stockholm, as he prepares for a controversial new exhibition. The exhibit, titled "The Square," is meant to promote values of trust and caring, but things take a turn when Christian's phone and wallet are stolen and he resorts to desperate measures to retrieve them. Meanwhile, the advertising agency promoting the exhibit creates a provocative viral video that sparks public outrage and sets off a chain of events that ultimately lead to Christian's downfall. The film explores themes of social responsibility, morality, and the consequences of our actions in today's society.
