About Jäkelskap i kikar'n
The year is 1955. A valuable painting has been stolen and Dagmar is in hospital. Things are certainly not starting well for Våge this summer. Pensionat Solhöjden is fully booked and now one of the guests is suspected of having stolen a priceless treasure from the host couple. The only question now is who? Could it be Count Hökenhjelm? Because he is surely hiding something. Or his wife, the Countess? Incidentally, she seems to have something in common with Ludvig, the tramp who is going to chop up the woodpile and is temporarily living in the barn. Ester also lives at the guesthouse, who not only eats nettles but seems to have something else lurking in her binoculars. Norwegian Grete is back as the housekeeper at the guesthouse, but what has she done? And why is Inspector Grip so incredibly happy to see her. Calm down, just calm down. Everything will be alright with Dag-Otto's help...or will it?
Directed by Ulf Dohlsten, Jäkelskap i kikar'n leans on a strong ensemble — Stefan Gerhardsson, Jojje Jönsson, Siw Carlsson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2016.

On an ordinary night, in an ordinary part of town, a beautiful young woman walks into a bar. Her name is Jewel, and before long she is chatting to bartender Randy. The pair leave together, but he ends up getting into a tussle with her criminal boyfriend, who she then shoots dead, later persuading Randy to take the rap for her. But this isn't the end of it, as both Randy's cousin Carl and the detective assigned to the murder case also fall for Jewel's charms and find themselves caught up in the ensuing events. It seems that any man who meets Jewel falls instantly in love with her, and she's going to use this fully to her own advantage, leaving a trail of havoc in her wake. It also seems that she is going to get away with it - that is, until Randy decides to hire a hitman...
