The film follows the process from concept to success during the first two seasons. We are involved from the beginning and hear Charlotte Sieling, Niels Sejer and Hans Rosenfeldt talk about the first tentative ideas, the creation of Sofia Helin's character Saga Norén, writing the script and the concept behind the series. We follow the rehearsals and get insight into features around the camera, departments and individuals that together form the basis of the show's success.
