A closed space and in it a Woman and a Man. They can find nowhere to go, like in Sartre’s works. The Man begins to interrogate the Woman. But soon it is she who takes control. An erotic tension develops between them. The Woman takes on different roles, introducing herself as Isabel Allende or an Islamic terrorist, among others. She deceives her companion, plays with gender stereotypes in order to subversively undermine the Man's well-being. She tries to disarm the notions that still govern our Western culture, she is intellectually provocative and at the same time seductive. The Man and the Woman are an enigma to each other. It is up to the viewer to interpret what kind of past connects them, what they want from each other and what this meeting can bring them.

In the author’s words: "Swedish Pale Blondes Don't Go to Heaven is a drama of our times, exploring women's roles in society and their new relationship with men, in a world that doesn't look like it used to”.
