Its a fairly good watch if you are interested in the WW3 hypothetical/wargaming stuff in cold war era etc. Has lot of elements of how things would go (from Sweden's perspective but this can be extrapolated for other countries) in day by day fashion and with matter-of-fact gloominess.
My largest qualm is that they project day 102 as when the conflict goes nuclear, but by 1980s I believe most wargaming results had nuclear exchanges starting around 2 - 3 weeks after conflict onset (And continued sustainment of it)....given most of the (large) NATO countries (in Europe theatre) at most had conventional war material reserves to last about 15 days in the rate of usage projected in all out war with Warsaw Pact.

This is a mockumentary depicting what Swedens involvement in a "Cold War gone hot" in the late 1980s could have looked like. It's made using archive and stock footage, and is similar to the German film "Close To World War III" from 1998. English subtitles available.
