Charlotte Ekeblad is on her way to Uganda with her so-called family, where her husband has got a top job within Sida. Then the phone rings. It is the prime minister who offers Charlotte the position of environment minister.
Charlotte is strongly opposed by some powerful party friends. And few people dare to stand by her side. But among the Swedish people, on the other hand, she is popular, and that worries her opponents.
Charlotte is caught when she are trying to withhold sensitive information and is held accountable. And it becomes increasingly difficult to combine her family life with her career. So her marriage with Thomas begins to crumble.
As a young and untested environment minister, Charlotte Ekeblad is exposed to tougher scrutiny than she anticipated. So even if she is regarded as a strong political, so is the resistance inside her party very overwhelming.
