Synopsis

Three sets of unrelated middle age, middle class Swedish families go to Thailand for relaxation and adventure, but realize their problems do not disappear in the scenic evening island breeze. Their depressed lives become even more so as they mingle with Thai citizens for some cross cultural mishaps, and major and minor mayhem ensues, leaving most of them on the brink of suicide by the end of the first season. Interesting, realistic, depressing.
