After unexpectedly losing the general election and failing in his bid to become the next Prime Minister of Sweden, Liberal Party leader David Holst doesn't know what to do with himself. With his standing within his own party on a downward slide and his wife and chief of staff, Fia, needling him to keep networking, he strikes up a friendship with Martin Kovacs, a high-ranking member of the now-incumbent Social Democrats. Their relationship soon develops into an affair, which comes as a surprise David not least because of their opposing political ideologies but also because until now he had believed himself to be straight.
Provides examples of:
- Babies Ever After: Shortly after Fia and David decide to divorce, we find out that Fia is pregnant with Jorgen's baby.
- Commonality Connection: David and Martin intially bond over a shared love of the Swedish pop group, Ratata.
- Shout-Out: One scene shows David watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch while Fia goes through his mail.
- Tomato Surprise: Downplayed. It isn't until after David and Martin get together that we learn that Fia and David are in a Sexless Marriage.
