The Rooster
Directed by Lasse Hallström
Produced by SF Studios, Svenska Filminstitutet
A comedic period piece set in a Swedish textile factory during WWII that explores workplace dynamics, female friendship, and romantic pursuit through a satirical lens.
In 1944, Cederqvist comes to a small cloth factory to see how the all-women employees can work more efficiently. At the beginning he is greeted with suspicion and his efforts at courting the young ladies are futile. But as soon as he buys himself a car it becomes much easier, especially since he has the power to relocate people to an easier line of work. Plot by Mattias Thuresson.
