SUMMARY Swedish efficiency researchers come to Norway for a study of Norwegian men, to optimize their use of their kitchen. Folke Nilsson ( Tomas Norström ) is assigned to study the habits of Isak Bjornsson ( Joachim Calmeyer ). By the rules of the research institute, Folke has to sit on a high chair in Isak's kitchen and observe him from there, but never talk to him. Isak stops using his kitchen and observes Folke through a hole in the ceiling instead. However, the two lonely men slowly overcome the initial distrust and become friends. INSPIRATION Bent Hamer was amused after perusing Post-war research books on the efficiency of the Swedish Housewife , and pondered on the idea of research being done on men. This led to him making the film ''Kitchen Stories''. EXTERNAL LINKS |
