ABOUT THE NEW FORCE

Synopsis: The year is 1958, and Sweden's first female police officers graduate; a small group of pioneers taking a big step for gender equality but struggling to take even the smallest step themselves, as the skirts they're forced to wear chafe like sandpaper against their thighs. They are ridiculed by the public, belittled by the media, and scorned by their colleagues. The new recruits are placed in the country's most crime-ridden district; the Klara police district in Stockholm, and as they start patrolling the streets of Stockholm, they soon realize that their biggest problem isn't the criminals; instead, the resistance comes from colleagues and the society as a whole.

CAST: Josefin Asplund, Agnes Rase, Malin Persson, Christopher Wagelin, Hannes Fohlin, Rasmus Luthander, Jimmy Lindström, Cilla Thorell, Pablo Leiva Wenger, Peter Eriksson, Dominik Henzel, Leonard Terfelt, Adam Schmidt, Matilda Esselius, Camila Bejarano Wahlgren and Linus Eklund.
