"Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom": A Lesson in Blues
With raw and unapologetic performances by Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman, stories about the hardships of Black musicians are weaved in with The Blues.

The year is 1961, and Ruben and Gunhild Olsson have decided to go on vacation to Denmark. The only problem is that Ruben has squandered all their money on "crazy" deals. His boss, the domineering Bergström, has similar plans, namely to travel away with his beloved wife Solveig. But in reality, he is more interested in his Norwegian secretary Turid. The postman Dag-Otto has won a trip to Mallorca. He bought the ticket from his substitute Fritjof, who was recently released from prison. Ruben becomes very jealous of Dag-Otto and buys a hotel from Fritjof, Empradaporro. But the problems pile up even more when it turns out that they all end up at this hotel. There they meet the only employee at the hotel, Felipe.
