Keep It Together is a dramedy series about 40-year-old nurse Lina Edin and her life in small town Sweden. Lina works at the E.R. and lives alone with her 14-year-old twins Molly and Melvin. Lina’s two years older sister Petra lives close by with her family. When their father Kenneth is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, life changes drastically for both sisters, starting with Kenneth moving into Lina’s house.

 Lina’s sense of responsibility is as strong as her impulse control is weak. She is well-spoken and fast thinking. Keep It Together is about a working-class family, used to playing the cards they are dealt, and accepting the circumstances of life. A workday will wear you out completely. Weekends are for celebrating. Nobody sees themselves as a victim. Self-respect, happiness, and pride look entirely different here, than they do in an upper-class area. It’s fun to be around Lina and her family. The relationships are defined by humour, levity, empathy, and a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude.  

After triggering a government crisis by photographing Sweden’s foreign minister buying sex in Berlin, ambitious freelance journalist Nina’s career takes an even bigger turn when she, of all people, is recruited as the press secretary to the new foreign minister – aid worker Jacob Weiss. Weiss is easy on the eyes, incredibly charismatic, and immediately wins over the Swedish public. He quickly notices Nina’s competence and gives her greater responsibility, all the while she becomes increasingly entangled in the ruthless power play that prevails in the corridors of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Weiss is young, unknown, and completely untested in politics. But who is he really?

Political consultant Maxie is tasked with investigating Weiss’s past. The process is rushed, and although there is an eight-month gap in Weiss’s career that Maxie hasn’t had time to verify, he is still appointed. Suddenly, Maxie’s life takes a turn – she gets a break-in, an anonymous source is killed, and she stops receiving job offers. She decides to dig deeper into Weiss and the people around him, convinced she will bring skeletons out of the closet.

“To Cook a Bear” takes place in the summer of 1852 in the village of Kengis, far north in Sweden. In the epic grandeur of the Northern polar landscape, we meet the newly appointed Pastor and his family. While the Pastor has a spiritual awakening that profoundly impacts the Sami and Tornedalians, the body of a shepherd’s girl is found in a bog. Soon the villagers set out in search of the killer bear they think is on the rampage.

While the local community searches for the bear they presume to be the killer, a suspicion grows inside the Pastor, who thinks something else happened. Not long after, another girl is found dead, and the Pastor’s suspicions gain renewed credence. Soon he joins forces with the impoverished Sami boy, Jussi, and starts investigating the various leads about the horrible incident.

The series takes place in today’s Malmö in a fictional setting and tells the story of six characters that work as police officers. We follow their daily activities,  both at work and in their private lives, in the real multicultural city that Malmö has become with many immigrants.

Director Sanna Lenken’s Words
”My hope is that Thin Blue Line” will be a moving, warm and exciting series with high authenticity. For me this is a series about people that constantly get involved in extreme situations and how they are able to handle them (or are not able to handle them) emotionally. It has to do with both our society and the individual person. It is a series where it will be easy to feel love and understanding for the characters whether or not what they do is right or wrong. When I last read the script what struck me is how many layers there are in our society and how they are shown through what our characters go through. What is the society’s responsibility for and where lies your loyalty as an individual. Thin Blue Line lifts up questions that concern us every day. There are many questions in the series that do not have simple answers and that engage people. It is a series with temperament and warmth and will not shine away lightness or darkness. Serious subjects are combined with humor which, is needed in order for the public to stay interested and entertained.”

It’s 1968 and the newly minted, politically aware reporter Karin tries to land her dream job at one of the big Stockholm newspapers, but has to content herself with a little summer substitute position at a sleepy backwater daily. Armed with her typewriter, she and her rebellious artist friend Lottie each rent a room in the home of the newspaper’s owner Georg. It doesn’t take many days before the peculiar pair have managed to stir things up in the little community where people have barely heard of the protests in Paris, much less the bra burning going on across the Atlantic.
