Doktrinen / 8 Months

Nina is barely eking out an existence as a journalist when she gets wind of a political scoop and publishes an investigative article that forces the Swedish foreign minister to resign in disgrace. Then she suddenly finds herself fast-tracked to be the press secretary for the newly appointed foreign minister. She initially seems to be thriving in the position, and her relationship with her charismatic boss is also becoming increasingly intimate. But Maxie, a political consultant who is researching the background of this top politician for her company discovers something alarming. At the same time, Nina begins to suspect that she’s unwittingly become involved in a large-scale conspiracy involving Putin and the Russian intelligence agency FSB, and that Sweden’s security and even that of the world may hang in the balance. Frighteningly topical and utterly captivating, the political thriller “8 Months” tells a story of trust, conspiracy, and betrayal. A series that will leave fans of “Borgen” and everyone else breathless. We’re screening the first three episodes.
