Nine of Sweden's leading actresses are brought together in this unconventional comedy-drama about a group of actresses awaiting a casting announcement. A major American film producer is looking for a Swedish actress to play the title role in a big-budget remake of the classic Greta Garbo vehicle Queen Christina, and a handful of women who were in talks for the role wait with bated breath for the decision to be declared. Rebecca (Lena Endre), married to hunky matinee idol Ake (Mikael Persbrandt), is spending her 40th birthday waiting for word on the role. Alexandra (Suzanne Reuter) will be shooting a TV commercial, to be directed by Rolf (Brasse Brannstrom). Rolf used to be involved with Cecilia (Marie Richardson), who lately is nearly as well known for the fact that she's pregnant and not identifying the father as she is for her acting. Cecilia appears on a morning chat show with Georgina (Ewa Froling), who used to be in love with Gregor (Peter Haber), Alexandra's current husband. Stella (Helena Bergstrom) is a defiantly out lesbian who is having an affair with Karin (Marika Lagercrantz), the wife of film director Magnus (Rolf Lassgard). Stella also happens to be starring in Magnus' latest project, along with Ake and Molly (Pernilla August). Meanwhile, Git (Gunilla Roor) is in a session with her analyst, trying to come to terms with her feelings about her work, and Evior (Stina Ekblad) is in rehearsal for a musical, and reaching the regrettable conclusion that she can neither dance nor sing. In keeping with the film's tangled onscreen relationships, Helena Bergstrom, who plays a lesbian sleeping with her director's wife, is married to Colin Nutley, Gossip's writer and director. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Writer-director-actor Peter Dalle is the talent behind this satire on relationships, reuniting several cast members of the TV series Lorry. A childless couple, Marie (Lena Endre) and David (Dalle), have lived together for years, despite their many disagreements. They argue often, but their friends, Sara (Suzanne Reuter) and Samuel (Johan Ulvesson) always manage to evade quarrels. Disaster can only be the outcome when the two couples celebrate Christmas together at a snow-covered cottage. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

A Swedish air force pilot and his girl friend attempt to keep their relationship together after a freak accident paralyzes him from the waist down in this drama. The tragedy occurs shortly after surviving a terrible accident in flight. Feeling cocky and good, he goes for a swim, dives and breaks his neck. At first he is too bitterly angry and filled with self-pity to believe that his lover would still care. He pushes her away at every turn and eventually he succeeds in getting her to leave. Fortunately, he quickly realizes that she does love him and that he loves her. A reconciliation occurs and the story ends happily. The film contains a lot of male and female nudity. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Ten years ago, Nora's parents were killed in an automobile accident. That's what she was told, anyway, when she was five. Since then, she has lived with a couple who had a son her own age. She has never been completely reconciled to their loss and thinks of them often. When her adoptive family moves into an old apartment, strange things begin happening -- like a broken clock running backwards -- and the family's dog refuses to enter her room. She has also been mysteriously saved from harm in a number of accidents. It seems that she has a supernatural visitor, a girl who lived in the apartment long before. The two girls, one living and one dead, become friends and together find the answer to a number of mysteries that have haunted them both. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
