An American in Yxsjö
The Swedish family Andersson discovers an American cousin is a tech billionaire who wants to help their town, so Geoff (Adam Riches) is no longer their favourite foreign relation.
Danny Robins’ romantic Swedish comedy, partly recorded on location with a mainly Swedish cast, continues.
The little town of Yxsjö begins to come to terms with ‘the Covid’ and turns its attention to the local economy. British comedian Geoff is now a Swedish citizen and fully (as he thinks) accepted into the bosom of his growing Swedish family.
But a fly lands firmly in the ointment, when an email arrives from a rich American Andersson (Nic Sampson) who’s been tracing his genealogy and turns out to be a long lost cousin. The family Andersson fall in love with the go-getting cousin Wilb, especially when he offers to help out financially - but, of course, Geoff thinks he smells a rat.
