And Gudrun, who does she really like best? You'll find the answers in the film about Kurtan. Kurtan seems to have his fingers in everything... from the shipyard crisis to the switch to right-hand traffic... and somehow everything seems to go wrong...

50 years ago the Swedish progressive indie group Nationalteatern was founded. They were young, radical and wanted to change the world through youth theater and rock music.
