First, Niki Lindroth von Bahr presents Gabriela Pichler’s first feature-length film Eat Sleep Die, which won many awards in Sweden (including 4 Guldbagge, the Swedish Oscars) and abroad (Mostra in Venice, Premiers Plans in Angers). All the main characters in the film are played by non-professional actors.

The young, energetic Raša, a Muslim Swede from the Balkans, loses her job and finds herself unemployed. With no qualifications and no resources, Raša has to cope with a Kafkaesque bureaucracy, a labyrinth of contradictory values and expectations.
