How can a newly purchased painting, albeit ridiculously expensive, threaten an old vänskapskonstellation? Just wait. French Yasmina Rezas twenty-five-year-old ART, which have been on the Sweden in the west, the lands now, for the second time in 2010, the century in Stockholm.
can and has been interpreted different for each of the emphasis really lies; An investigation of the art which stuck, and the male, the class symbol? What tells the viewer’s eyes about who he really is? How can this overturn old perceptions of each other? In Edward af sillén’s set of signals most of the time, in advance, that it is the comedic qualities that the focused on the.
When Mark (Johan Rheborg) , home to old friend Sebastian (Per Andersson) it turns out that he has bought a painting that proudly and with white tyghandskar is carried forward and shown up. As well as, in passing, mentioned a Stockholm gallery owner. The board is white with some barely noticeable reliefskiftningar. Possibly there is also something gray.
Sebastian paid 650.000. A monochrome masterpiece of modernism, he says kissnödigt proud. You have paid 650.000 for the white crap, like the conservative and embittered Markus, who almost immediately gets upset. And so, the third friend, Ivan (molly ringwald) who is preoccupied of his complicated wedding and do not want to discuss anything at all, just sink into the old polartrallen.

The third, Ivan, has lost its clownroll and trying to grope their way in their new familjekonstellation. And this is precisely where the focal point is: Friends are like a family. Where is the given roles, clear power, not love. Throws you about the characters so no longer exist family. It shows they are good, when they play together.
