Behind Every Man EP 1‒4

Michael is the head chef, and he leaves no doubt about it. Working with this talented but grimly determined artist in the kitchen requires perseverance and a very thick skin. Enigmatic Vibeke, owner of the restaurant Vaerk, has assigned him a new sous chef, a woman named Naja, and her idea of a working environment radically differs from Michael’s top-down hierarchical approach, causing tensions. The kitchen of this gourmet temple in Copenhagen starts heating up like a pressure cooker. With the international success of “TheBear”, the restaurant kitchen microcosmos became the place where relationships, human idiosyncrasies, and gender relations can all be extensively explored. The Danish series “Behind Every Man” entertainingly and shrewdly explores modern conflicts based on age-old patterns – and shows that men continue to behave quite badly. But so can the women. We’re screening the first four episodes of this eight-part series.
