The Committee

The Committee deals with the absurdity of democratic decision-making processes. It makes a humorous portrait of an international collaboration. A comedy investigates the nature of compromises, and mirrors political processes that often have great ambitions, but end up little to show.

A short fiction The Committee is a Nordic co-production, which is produced by production companies Kjellson & Wik (SE), Tuffi Films (FIN) and Ape og Bjørn (NO).
