Meeting with Melike Leblebicioglu, Bahareh Badavi and Tone C Ronning, about NRK's first "in house" production, a series that doesn't hesitate to combine societal issues with comedy. Sened Dahb will talk to the team about their story, their inspirations and the series' journey.
Three friends from four different cultures try to find a balance between their expectations and reality. They try to navigate their way through adult life, its awkward, destabilizing situations, uncomfortable everyday experiences, and all the little victories that come with them.
Fariba, Iranian, decides to play the "minority" card to advance in her professional life. Amrit, an Indian far from tradition and owner of a bar, discovers that there are more advantages than disadvantages to asserting one's personality. Helin, a respectful and devoted Turkish daughter and doctor, realizes that her parents have become much more liberal than she has. At the same time, their parents find it hard not to interfere in the lives of their thirty-something children, who are facing life's difficulties.
