At the forests of Östergötland, where land meets sea, rests the old castle Herrborum. Here lives count Magnus Stenbock, 92, according to his own ideas about what is appropriate and what is not.

Reviews
Lack of good storyline.
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
