'Count Axel' is a comedy that takes place somewhere in the nordic countries in 1783. It's a classic comedy about mixed identities, with strong elements of contemporary humour and satire. One should conceive 'Count Axel' as a scandinavian version of the humour that you will find in works like 'Black Adder' and 'Life of Brian'. A humorous universe that takes off in the big classical epos of our past. It is our inheritance from the time of the feudal era, with evil rich lords; and god, pure pesants that is the set-up in 'Count Axel'. To take this genre of heavy historical films and twist it in to a crazy comedy with the respect of a strong storyline, that is the ambition of 'Count Axel'
