‘An Honest Life’ Explores Class and Crime in Modern Sweden
Directed by Mikael Marcimain and based on Joakim Zander’s novel, ‘An Honest Life’ follows a disillusioned law student who becomes entangled with a group of anarchists. As he descends into a world of deception and danger, the line between justice and rebellion begins to blur.
