HOW TO GRADUATE FROM THE LAUGHING ACADEMY (HUR MAN GÖR SUCCÉ PÅ DÅRHUS)
Emmy Abrahamson
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, right?
Or you break in to a cabin to steal booze, and surprise your BFF by stripping the wallpaper off the walls of her country house ‐ a job half done, really ‐ and missing what could have been an important step in your career because of a really obstinate dog. But who said acting a bit loony at times is any reason to be dragged away in a strait jacket?
Maya’s career as a stand-up comedian isn’t going that great. Thinking about it, life outside of work isn’t exactly stellar either, so when she finds herself on a psychiatric ward, she has some hard truths to face up to before she can find the road to recovery.
