Where to go to work as a director The series tells us about the ordeal of an art house director, whose “child”, which he created and nurtured for many summers, failed at the box office. The director, of course, fell into despair, one might even say into depression. For he possessed a fine mental organization, lived in his own world, which intersected little with the real world. He would have been depressed, but the family (his wife and 15-year-old daughter) demanded money. I had to get off the couch and start working.
The only option for some reason was the position of butcher at the firm of his father-in-law. Maybe there's wild unemployment in Sweden, I don't know. Just got our director to cut up pig carcasses. What did not fit with his delicate nature, which, as they say, and flies will not offend.
And then his fellow student calls him and offers him a job as a director! Our hero, of course, agrees and happily goes to meet with the “employer”. And then it turns out that he should be a director of pornographic films!
And he faced a difficult choice - to work as a butcher or to shoot "adult cinema". And although he was extremely negative about porn, he was even worse about butchering meat carcasses. Therefore, he chose porn from two evils, especially since he was given a high salary, which was not shameful to voice in the circle of family and friends.
Gradually, he is drawn into the process, liberated, established relations with his wife. To his surprise, it turns out that many people are interested in porn, that quite normal people work there for the sake of high earnings.
The series features Swedish subtle humor. Despite its plot, there is practically no vulgarity and quite frank scenes. Everything is decent and tactful, with irony.
It is interesting to see the changes of the main character. From a vulnerable man who is not adapted to life, living on the advice of his wife and father-in-law, to a self-sufficient, confident head of the family.
Of course, this is not the series that you watch without stopping, but it is quite suitable as a background.
Fans of European cinema can try to watch.
