Roland, a florist, finally wants to make another film, this time a musical film. He has already composed the songs for it. His husband Marcus, his best friend Claudia and the couple Lars and Nina, who are friends, will also be involved in the film. The movie premiere is to take place on Roland's 50th birthday. However, a cameraman is still missing. The shrewd TV producer Torsten Norola makes the an unbeatable offer: Roland will be provided with a cameraman if the station is allowed to accompany the entire shooting for a new docu-soap format. Shortly after filming begins, the first small obstacles get in Roland's way: Claudia is still in love with Roland; an argument with his husband Marcus; Lars falls in love with Roland; Nina wants out; and then a murder. All of a sudden, the film doesn't seem to be finished after all. But Roland can't possibly pay the penalty of 100.000€ to the broadcaster.
Critic
The film portrays the Swedish playwright, novelist, poet, essayist and painter August Strindberg's life 1849-1912. Through his extensive correspondence and literary production, from the supposed first work, the drama "The Free Thinker" (1869), to the posthumously published "The Occult Diary" (published 1977 ). But also his three wives, Siri von Essen, Frida Uhl and Harriet Bosse, and the children Karin, Greta and Hans are given space in the film. The unpublished first drama "The Free Thinker", depicts a young man forced to break with family and tradition to follow his conscience and ideals, becomes a prophecy about the author's own life.
