The title of this movie is not in the square, but at the royal X art gallery where the male protagonist works, especially at the halftime party, a passerby artist said that this is the former palace, the bedroom of the king and queen, and then a group of The bourgeois middle class enjoyed drinking champagne and dancing in it, sitting on an old sofa left in the palace and waiting in line to go to the toilet. As probably the only person in the show who is sober, conscientious and self-aware, the male protagonist also tries to play the old piano left by the aristocratic arty, but everyone is busy playing with their mobile phones and ignores them. The collective curtain call of the European aristocracy has left a huge space for the bourgeoisie. However, in the modern society with less meat and more wolves, the working class is biting each other like hungry wolves, losing their humanity. As an "office worker", even though he lives in a mansion, drives a sports car, and works in the palace, he can't get rid of being cheated by hooligans who are ordinary people but different classes, and have to seek justice with black immigrants. Alas, this is an elegy for Europe. What is White Left? The director doesn't care at all.
The invasion of American culture into Europe is also shown in this film. First of all, the artists of the "square" works are Americans, who talk a lot about equality and democracy between square inches, and occupy the right of interpretation with American-style values (and inventors). The male protagonist’s one-night stand industry reporter is also a big American girl. She has no skills, does not understand theory, and likes to write vernacular articles. She has a chimpanzee at home, and she is also European (especially in an old aristocratic country like Sweden). Some very nasty interpretation of the Americans. The male protagonist and this big American girl parted ways until the end of the affair, and Europe told the United States that I'm sorry, we can't afford to play with you, you are too stupid. The daughter of the male protagonist is simply a cheerleader, dominated by black American coaches, completely losing the inheritance of European elite culture and moving towards popular culture represented by the United States and a strong sense of competition cultivated since childhood.
