Vasaloppet
Geoff tries to impress his wife’s Swedish ex-boyfriend. But a 90km ski-ing race may prove a step too far. From 2021.
Geoff is enjoying the glory of Sweden in the snow. Out with the kids in the hills, he bumps unexpectedly into his nemesis Johan, an ex-boyfriend of Linda's, who issues a challenge Geoff can't turn down.
Meanwhile, Linda is struggling to deal with a difficult work/life balance and yearns for the days when she could lose herself in her beloved cross-country ski-ing. And little John discovers the joys of being caught short in the snow.
Danny Robins’ romantic Swedish comedy is partly recorded on location with a mainly Swedish cast.
