Håkan Pieniowski, Astrid Ohlsén
A trip on the Swedish lake Mälaren by a 115-year-old steamboat. The journey between Stockholm and Mariefred takes 3,5 hours. The steamboat Mariefred was manufactured over a hundred years ago and is one of the last steam-powered vessels on the lake. The steam whistle sounds when Maja, as she is called in Mariefred, steers into the bay towards Mariefred. A fanfare for the summer! A journey through a breathtakingly beautiful landscape to the sound of the old steam engine's quiet but powerful inhalation and exhalation. A declaration of love for old shipping and a rich history of the steam engine.

Ett fint litet samhälle
Håkan Pieniowski, Astrid Ohlsén
Documentary about the security of a home somewhere in Sweden with the church in the middle of the village, many generations of farming, a newly opened Tavern and neighbors who are usually sams. A community that welcomes but also closes out.

Eugen: Den Röde Prinsen
Astrid Ohlsén
Prince Eugen painted his parents' royal palace as a dark castle. Born with a gold spoon in his mouth, he chose a different life than the royal family wanted. He took a political and professional position and went his own way. Eugen became the painting prince and built his own palace at Waldemarsudde which he gave away after his death. Prince Eugen has just turned 150 and celebrated his anniversary at Waldemarsudde, the castle at Djurgården that he left to the Swedes. The Prince's path to independence and creation was crooked. As the youngest son in the Bernadotte family, the son was to become an officer. Of course, what others found, of course, to choose life partners and occupations, Eugen relinquished. But life as an artist and at the same time as a representative of the royal family gave him no rest. Did he succeed in his painting just because he was a prince? He didn't feel at home anywhere.
