The Embassy of Sweden is excited to offer a selection of Swedish rooftop film screenings this summer that celebrate the rich cultural heritage and cinematic excellence of Sweden.

Our next screening presents The Bridgeplayers (2025), a film about four women who survived Auschwitz as teenagers.

Filmmakers Alberto Herskovits and Bengt Bok document four bridge-playing women and Auschwitz survivors as they witness a dramatically changing world in this unconventional film about the Holocaust. Despite their traumas and haunting memories, the four women have lived to nearly one hundred and are now among the few remaining to bear witness to the Holocaust. They live in Stockholm, have been friends for decades, and share a deep passion for playing bridge. Life proceeds as usual, but suddenly everything changes with the Hamas terror attack and the situation in Gaza. A unique film about the Holocaust and the art of survival.

The film will be screened on the rooftop (weather permitting) of
