A tiny theatrical company turns into a war zone of egos as a new play goes into rehearsal in this broad comedy from Sweden. A camera crew from a television outlet is on hand to shoot a commercial as a harried director (Tova Mahnusson Norling) tries to put her cast through their paces. Not everyone, however, feels like cooperating; her two leading men (Orjan Ramberg and Dan Ekborg) seem to be competing over who gets most of the spotlight, much to the annoyance of the female star (Lena Nyman), while the troupe's makeup artist (Gosta Ekman) has a plan of his own. Puder was written and directed by Marie-Louise Ekman, whose husband Gosta Ekman plays the flamboyantly gay makeup man.
