Logline

Whisky with Vodka

Actor Otto Kullberg is a man women love and men like. Sometimes he drinks a little too much. When his excessive drinking leads him to miss a day on the set of his new film and it seems like he’s about to blow the whole thing, a younger actor is hired to do all his scenes a second time as a backup solution. Otto Kullberg, a man of quick wit and driven by his need to be at the center of attention, finds himself forced to assert his role on the set, to decide on his role as a man torn between the love for two women, and to redefine his role in his own life. Many films ago, he had a love with his co-star Bettina, who is now the wife of the director. Can he still maintain the distinction between film and reality? In the duel between the actors on theset, no one wants to be the loser. They all love the truth and yet they all can't help but lie. Incidentally, never mix whiskey and vodka. Production Notes
