Saltstänk & Smuggelsprit Tour

On the Halland coast stands "Badhotell Klitterviken" - once grand, now in the late 1920s a hotel that has clearly seen better days. Yet the pompous owner Estrid (Helena Aspeflo) refuses to admit it. She hounds her downtrodden husband Hubert (Håkan Klamas) to maintain the appearance of an exclusive beach resort, despite what the walls tell a different story.

Behind Estrid's back, Hubert has made a deal with smuggling kingpin Konrad Stålberg (Daniel Träff) - a large shipment of German schnapps has been delivered to the hotel overnight and must be moved on. The problem is that on the same day, Estrid has booked the hotel for a wake for the wealthy widow Stråhle (Ewa Roos), whose late husband was chairman of Halland's temperance committee - and the widow has promised to donate a substantial sum to the hotel, provided the wake proceeds quietly and with dignity.

To make matters worse, the couple's daughter Alfrida (Jeanette Capocci) shows up, searching for a suspected unfaithful lover and careful to hide that she recently squandered her parents' money at Gothenburg's jazz clubs and dance halls. Pastor Livhed (Mikael Riesebeck), who is to conduct the memorial service, turns out to have narcolepsy. Postman Dag-Otto Flink (Jojje Jönsson) soon doesn't know if he's a postman, smuggler, waiter or priest. And the guest couple Rut (Annika Andersson) and Ragnar (Mikael Riesebeck) are unwillingly drawn into the whole affair. With smuggled schnapps, a body going astray, threatening spirits police and a coffin that never seems to contain what it should - the circus soon becomes total chaos.
