Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series satirizes Sweden's 'villa Volvo vovve' middle class dream taken to its absurd extreme—Mallorca has long been the unofficial Swedish colony.
Herngren previously directed 'The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window'—this shares its DNA of chaotic Swedes abroad, but with family wounds instead of explosives.
