Lagom Lockdown
Geoff, a British comedian turned Swede is now happily installed with his growing family in Yxsjo in this comedy which also stars some of Sweden's best known comic actors.
Adam Riches returns in The Cold Swedish Winter, Danny Robins' series of comedy and culture shock.
Recorded partly on location in Stockholm, and at times simultaneously between three countries, this romantic comedy features a line-up of some of Sweden’s best known comic actors.
British comedian Geoff has settled with his Swedish partner, Linda (Sissela Benn), in the frozen north in the tiny, unpronounceable town of Yxsjo. This year he's up against British and Swedish views of viruses, his mother's (Mel Hudson) endless calls, cross country skiing, a predatory American cousin and, of course, his redoubtable in-laws, Sten and Gunilla (Thomas Oredsson and Anna-Lena Bergelin).
We join his family as spring breaks and Sweden faces lockdown, taking a very different path to its European neighbours.
