Night in Paradise

The series entitled Capek's Pockets represents a novel and unique student project in which talented young directors and experienced scriptwriters came together to produced their rendering of Tales from One Pocket and Tales from the Other Pocket by the outstanding Czech writer Karel Capek. Rather than experimenting with the model, its authors sought to "put new life" into the classical piece of literature, and commemorate Capek's great mastery as a writer and thinker. The tales with crime plots of a humorous slant are situated in the 1920s and 1930s, and their protagonists are not big criminals but petty thieves or little crooks. And the detective is an ordinary man, too. The main focus is always on capturing the diversity of personality types - people whom their life situation forces to deal with things the way they do.

Harry Holgersson prefers to fish down at Slussen, but sometimes help people or solve tricky criminal cases. Like a case concerning a persecuted woman and a red sports bike.

A veteran charter ship is heading for the harbor town Vadsø on the northernmost coast of Norway. Among a crew of six, the chef suddenly goes missing. This is a big mystery since the ship has been on the open see all night. In Vadsø harbor, a large group of guests and celebrities are waiting along with the rest of the crew. Among them is the young police trainee Moses. He has been informed that a person is missing, but none of the crew admits to have called the police. Moses soon realizes that they are all hiding something. He is confused; the crew seem so nice, but everyone is lying to him. Why? Eight weeks, 41 episodes and ports of call, from the far north to the far south, ending up in Oslo. The investigation continues throughout the journey. What happened the night that the chef went missing? And who was he...really? He does not exist in any records. A romantic, funny crime drama from one of the world's most beautiful sea journeys - along the coast of Norway.
