After Tore loses his father, he completely disassociates — pretending absolutely nothing bad has happened. Of course, suppressing all his feelings causes him to act out, and he starts hitting the club scene… hard. As Tore tailspins out of control, he stumbles onto a journey of who he really is. Directed by Erika Calmeyer (Twin), the dark comedy series Tore was created and written by its star, Swedish comedic actor and former YouTuber William Spetz (Filip och Mona).

What happens in Tore?

When his father dies suddenly, 27-year-old Tore — who’s a bit of a late bloomer — spirals into self-destruction to cope with his grief. During the day, he works at his father’s funeral home, acting like he isn’t suffering a huge loss — but at night he dips into the queer nightlife scene as a way to escape his emotions. As Tore struggles to stay afloat, he jeopardizes his friendships and livelihood. But he finds light in the darkness when he meets a local florist, Erik, and develops a friendship with a drag queen known as Shady Meat.
