I think that Heléne Holmström's work on the TV 24 project with Bente Hammer and Didrik Holgersson was enough to create a ranting from Bente because she wanted this to be her project and found that Didrik had already agreed to plans without her proving them. Bente was given a message from one of her long time friends that liked diving and she found a bottle of wine from a wreck off the coast of France and England that had some Swedish writing on it. She had some TV experiences which were derogatory toward her and thought this would be favorable but when she got to the TV station she was put under Didrik's control. She resigned from her present job at the restaurant as a wine sommelier and wanted to be the person in charge of a TV special on the wine which was found by Camille. Heads butted but things were changed by the crew going to Paris. Then they changed again. Then they changed again. It is a real interesting story that was told to the whole crew that makes it interesting. But who was really dancing in the dark?

I enjoyed the back story to the bottle of wine which forms the basis of the main character’s historical research but the more modern part of the story was a bit cheesy and predictable. I found the female protagonist extremely privileged and out of touch, which distracted from the plot for me. If you are interested in wine, you may enjoy this more.

Bente Hammar, una sommelier talentosa cuya carrera televisiva colapsó tras un escándalo público, trabaja ahora en un bar de vinos donde intenta reconstruir su vida profesional y recuperar su autoestima. El hallazgo de una botella de vino de un naufragio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial con una inscripción misteriosa en sueco despierta en ella no solo la pasión por el vino, sino también el deseo de contar historias con alma, de recuperar su voz y su lugar en el mundo.

Por otro lado, Didrik Holgersson, un historiador carismático de la televisión cuya vida personal se desmorona cuando su esposa le pide el divorcio. Didrik está atrapado entre la imagen pública del experto seguro y encantador, y la inseguridad que lo consume en privado. El destino los cruza cuando ambos coinciden en el bar donde trabaja Bente, lo que da pie a una colaboración inesperada… y una chispa que va más allá de lo profesional.
