On DR1

A cerebral political drama that follows a female prime minister's navigation of idealism versus pragmatism, power versus principle, across a closed 30-episode arc.

40-year old political leader Birgitte Nyborg secures her party a landslide victory through her idealism and huge effort, then faces the biggest challenge of her life: how most effectively to use the newly won seats, and how far she is willing to go in order to gain as much influence as possible.
