The Prince of Soap (2007)

Synopsis of The Prince of Soap

An unemployed woman looking for work in a Finnish television station unexpectedly stumbles into a position as a soap opera writer in director Janne Kuusi's comic behind the scenes romp. Ilona is young, beautiful, and out of work. After applying for a job at a Finnish television station, Ilona is sent into the wrong room for her interview and walks away as the new writer for a popular daytime drama. Ilona is instantly smitten with star Kale, and quickly begins using her power as a writer to craft scripts stealthily designed to draw the pair together. Unfortunately for Ilona, Kale is already romantically involved with producer Raakel -- who isn't about to let a little thing like marriage get in the way of a hot on-set romance. When Raakel catches wind of Ilona's scheme, the two lovelorn women clash and use their influence on the show to wage personal warfare against one another. As the backstage clashes between Raakel and Ilona begin to mirror the drama playing out on the small screen, the fierce competition for Kale provides fodder for some of the shows best scripts. Now, passions ignite and the crew begins preparations for the live season finale, it soon becomes obvious that not all of the drama unfolding on this popular soap opera is as artificial as one might assume. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
