A teenager convinced her missing father is still alive turns to a ragtag UFO association for answers in UFO Sweden, a 2022 adventure that treats teenage rebellion and small-town obsession with the sky as two sides of the same search.
What is UFO Sweden about?
After her father disappears, a rebellious teenage girl is placed into foster care — but she refuses to accept the official explanation that he's dead. Convinced he was abducted rather than lost, she starts digging on her own and ends up crossing paths with a local UFO association, a group of amateur enthusiasts more used to being laughed at than taken seriously. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into something closer to a shared mission, as the group's obsessive tracking of unexplained sightings starts to look less like a fringe hobby and more like the only lead she has. The film follows her push against the adults who've written her off, and against her own doubts, as the search for her father pulls her deeper into a world the association has been mapping for years.
