A sharp and entertaining satire with a biting edge aimed at a political establishment willing to sacrifice both morality and truth to save its own skin and hold on to power.

As the election approaches, sitting Prime Minister Alma Solvik (Laila Goody) hopes for renewed trust from voters when it is revealed that her husband Sondre (Anders Baasmo) has made a series of lucrative stock deals during her time in office. To handle the escalating media storm, she hires controversial spin doctor Karianne Moen (Pia Tjelta), setting off a chain of events that is as chaotic as it is humorous. Director Petter Næss and screenwriter Ståle Stein Berg draw inspiration from real-life political scandals – not least the stock trading scandal involving Norway’s former Prime Minister Erna Solberg and her husband, Sindre Finnes.
