Director Lisa Langseth has made a socially critical comedy about private healthcare companies that set diagnoses and hand out tablets on an ongoing basis. What if it's society that's wrong instead? That's the idea behind ”The dance club” where a psychology intern (Nils Wetterholm) makes a revolt and with the help of performance artist Rakel (Alva Bratt) gets a group of patients to try to dance away their anxiety instead. Among those who dance is influencer Julia Franzén in her first film role.
