The winds of change are blowing through the pines on a remote island in the Swedish archipelago. Deep in a swamp inhabited only by aging musicians and raging mosquitos rumors arise of a new neighbor, the legendary Joey Tempest.

Forget everything you know, this is A Real Swedish Midsommar. Welcome to the table!
