What Is Swedes at Sea About?

The premise of Swedes at Sea without spoilers.

Stig-Helmer, a clueless city dweller, and his Norwegian companion Ole board the wrong barge and find themselves stranded in a picturesque archipelago. They are forced to spend Midsummer among the upscale yacht owners and their lavish summer houses, navigating awkward encounters and the clash of their modest ways with the high‑society leisure scene.
