"COMICS OF THE HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL CLASS!" Gothenburg Poster

A HUGE FUNNY SUCCESS! 865,000 CINEMA VISITOR.

Claes-Henrik Ahlhagen, called “Håna” because he has two H’s in his last name, is a prankster with an uncanny ability to get into tricky situations. Like now, when his shady partner “happens” to rent out “Håna’s” mother’s dilapidated luxury apartment to a pornographic film gang. Not a good idea, especially since “Håna’s” mother is a real slut who has her 40-year-old son in an iron grip. One thing is for sure, the old woman has to go. Far away! And that’s when things get really tricky, even by “Håna’s” standards. But he’s also lucky enough to meet Boel, the warm, sweet Boel, who means a new path in life.

MUSTARDS & PEARS was Gösta Ekman's debut as a feature film director on his own. And what a debut! Excellent reviews and a whopping 865,000 cinemagoers! But he had also studied with the very greatest in his younger days when he was an assistant director to his father Hasse and Bergman himself.
