Anything for the Ladies

In ANYTHING FOR THE LADIES, the clash between the modern and traditional is depicted through Ulf Hallén, an aging clothing merchant.

An outspoken and rude, but sincere and well-meaning man who refuses to adapt to the changes around him. A precise, bittersweet and comical status report from a new time that has long since passed.
