Dough New / First Season
GET RICH OR DIE BAKING.
An SVT original series.
In the affluent Stockholm suburb of Lidingö, 45-year-
old Malou Sander, a divorced mother on the verge of
a personal and financial breakdown, starts leading a
double life after she stumbles upon five million euros from
a botched robbery. Clueless about how to launder the
money, she purchases a failing bakery and unwittingly
hires the robber’s wife, 30-year-old Liana Skog, who has
no idea that the money from the botched robbery that put
her husband in prison is now in the hands of her new boss.
A fast paced crime series with building tension, strong
female characters and sprinkling of dark humour.

FAKE COUPLE. REAL COPS.
In order to solve the brutal murder of a young, German
surfer, two police officers are secretly deployed to the
tourist paradise of Hvide Sande on the Jutlandic west
coast. No one in the town trusts the police, so they have
to come across as a happy married couple from the big
city moving to the North Sea coast to start a new life. The
two police officers are the Dane Helene, who is an expert
in undercover work, and Danish-German Thomas, who is
a homicide detective from Hamburg. They quickly come
to realize that being credible in the roles of husband and
wife isn’t easy when you’re used to being alone.
But as they get closer to the small town’s residents and
circumstances, hidden connections and old wounds, they
also get closer to each other and feel their own emotions
awakening from their slumber.

Spiral of Lies New / First Season
FACE THE WAVES FROM THE PAST.
Biarritz, 2019. When a young woman's body is
discovered on the Basque Coast, the police suspect a
crime of passion. But Audrey, the attorney for the victim's
family, is convinced the woman was killed by a murderer
known as Itsas: a serial killer who was active in the region
in the early 2000s, then dropped off the radar.
There's good reason for Audrey's suspicions: she had
a run-in with Itsas 16 years earlier. In fact, she's the
only woman who ever got away from him. But Audrey
lied to the police to cover-up a stupid teenage mistake,
and got caught up in a spiral of lies that has had tragic
consequences. Now Audrey is determined to stop Itsas
and do her best to right the wrongs.

Sophie Cross, a brilliant attorney, is enjoying a lovely
summer day in the North Sea dunes with her 5-year-old son,
Arthur, when he vanishes into thin air. She only leaves the
boy alone for a few seconds, but that's all it takes. It's the
start of a horrible nightmare for Sophie and her husband
Thomas Leclercq, a razor-sharp police commissioner who's
crushed by his son's disappearance and finds himself
powerless to solve it. As the days then weeks roll by, the
investigation goes nowhere and doubts and suspicions
start to creep up: was Arthur really abducted? Three years
later, the devastated couple is determined to push forward
with their lives. Thomas is convinced they'll never see their
son again, but Sophie refuses to give up hope and joins
the police force to help hunt down Arthur. She'll have to

INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY NEVER TOLD BEFORE.
Based on an explosive and gripping true story, THE SPECTACULAR
takes us back to tense times in 1988, one of the bloodiest years of
the decade for IRA activities, including rare incidents outside the UK.
Following two violent IRA attacks on British military personnel
stationed in the Dutch region of Limburg, academic Jeanine Maes is
recruited to help with the criminal investigation. It’s not long before
she comes face-to-face with her main suspect, Fiona Hughes, a highly
dangerous, active member of the IRA, and is forced to tread a path
with high-stakes and far-reaching consequences. Meanwhile, in
Northern Ireland, British security service MI5 coerces IRA Volunteer
Patrick Lynch to infiltrate the inner circle of legendary bomber Declan
Moore who, encouraged by his older brother-in-arms Corey O’Keefe,
is soon expected to lead an Active Service Unit in Mainland Europe.
Will Jeanine risk disrupting the peace process between Britain and
Northern Ireland with her obsessive pursuit of Fiona? And will Declan’s
rift with Corey mean it’s down to him to show that the IRA are still as
powerful as they were ten years ago?

But for Maxime Delcourt and the rest of the prestigious

HE IS FAITHFUL AND INFALLIBLE.
In one of Rome’s forsaken suburbs Christian earns his
living doing the only thing he is good at: beating people.
He works for the local boss, Lino, a sort of older foster
brother as they grew up with the same woman, Italia.
One day, Christian's hands start to ache and bleed: they
are stigmata. The stigmata are a problem, because they
prevent him from doing his job. He then miraculously saves
the local junkie Rachele from an overdose and she clings
to him telling him to change his life, since, apparently, he
is able to heal people.
Christian's powers attract Matteo’s attention, a Vatican
postulator who is obsessed with finding someone whose
thaumaturgical powers are real. But, above all, Christian's
great power attracts Lino's attention: not only because
Christian can no longer do his job, but because Christian
is saving people, and this could undermine the foundations
of his reign.

Even so, she perseveres in helping everyone. In her blind

MovieSoleimani: New
Iran's strategist
Before he was killed by an American drone strike in early January,
most people in the West had never even heard of him. But in the
Middle East, the mere mention of the name Qassim Soleimani
sparks either absolute terror... or boundless admiration. He was
the relentless architect of the “Axis of Resistance,” an Iranian power
projection strategy that enabled Teheran's mullahs to control the
“Shiite Crescent. Rarely, at any time in history, has a man working
in the shadows wielded such great influence on the geopolitics
of an entire region and the overall world balance. The life of
General Soleimani – a brilliant strategist, wily politician, master
spy and bloodthirsty killer – is the tale of 40 years chock-full of
upheaval, wars, dirty tricks and secret diplomatic maneuvering.
The burning question now is... will Soleimani's work live on? In
Iraq, young people are condemning Iran as an occupying force.
In Lebanon, dominated by the pro-Iranian Hezbollah party, people
are crying out for change. Even in Teheran, Iranians are calling the
government to account after a passenger jet was brought down by
missiles fired by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The regime is
wobbling, and Soleimani isn't there to bolster it up. The liquidation
of the Iranian general could dramatically change the entire Middle
East. This current affairs documentary throws light on these burning

DocumentaryResisting the New
Darkness
In March 2011, the winds of change sweeping through
the Arab world blew across Syria. Driven by street
protests, the Arab Spring held out the promise of a new
era and the end of the Assad family's decades-long rule.
Among those hoping for a revolution, Syria's women were
at the fore. They let themselves dream of real change,
hoping that the advent of democracy would bring greater
freedoms in their highly conservative society. 10 years
later, Syria is a black hole. A devastated country in total
chaos: 500,000 people dead, millions of refugees, scores
of martyred cities. In Idlib, throngs of women and children
fleeing bombs bear witness to a conflict that continues to
drag on endlessly.

A LIFE UNDER FILTER.
INSTAGRAM: A LIFE UNDER FILTER tells the story of a
popular and seemingly harmless video application. But
the so-called “happiness app” has become a serious threat
to the emotional and psychological well-being of the 1.5
billion people around the globe who use it regularly.
The story of a tiny digital gadget that started out as a
happy-go-lucky game, then slipped out of its maker's
control. The story of an artsy app designed for weekend
photographers that has become a giant cash cow that is
changing behaviors and standardizing cultural practices
and norms worldwide.
In March 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic brusquely
redefined the happiness paradigm outlined by Instagram.
Our economy and culture would be deeply impacted.
After only a few short days, there was a clear change
in behavior and codes on the app. And Instagram – the
mirror of our fast-changing world – would never be the
same again.
An enthralling tale that has unfolded across the world over
the past 10 years: the success story and saga of the rapid-
fire evolution of Instagram since its creation in 2010.
