Title: Powder (Puder)

At Theater Crocodile, total confusion reigns. Nothing seems to be under control. The ensemble, fresh off a massive success with a sold-out play, now finds a TV crew within their walls, ready to film the production. Also on site is "Future Research Inc.," wanting to shoot a commercial for internal use. They pay well, but is everyone willing to appear in such a banal film? Money is money, after all, and if they work through the night, they’ll have enough to fly south for a lovely holiday!
The director (Tova Magnusson Norling) is trying to manage a rehearsal for the TV crew while coaxing the lead, Ambel (Örjan Ramberg), into his costume. Naturally, she is completely—hysterically—opposed to the commercial.
In the center of this chaos is the makeup artist "Vippan" (Gösta Ekman), acting as a gentle antidote. He glides around in his wide, fluffy smock, pockets filled with every mobile tool a makeup artist could need. Everyone visits his station to be "transformed." Stella (Lena Nyman) wants to try "something new" amidst a cloud of cigarette smoke, while a middle-aged actor (Dan Ekborg) runs around pinching Vippan, desperate to be loved as much as Vippan loves Ambel.
The film is a tribute to all people of the stage! The actors are superb, and Gösta Ekman’s portrait of "Vippan" is perhaps the most charming I have seen in a very long time.
Editor’s Note (2026): A vivid, theatrical dream of a film. Directed by the visionary Marie-Louise Ekman and featuring an original score by Benny Andersson, *Puder* captures the neurotic, loving, and bizarre world of Swedish theater. Iva’s affection for Gösta Ekman shines through here—rightly so, as his "Vippan" remains an iconic character in Swedish cinema history.

På Teater Krokodil råder stor förvirring. Ingenting tycks vara under kontroll. Teaterns ensemble har nu ett tv-team innanför väggarna som skall filma av deras framgångsrika pjäs. På plats finns också Firma Framtidsforskning som vill göra en reklamfilm. De betalar bra, men vill alla ställa upp på något så banalt? Pengar är ju pengar, och arbetar man hela natten räcker det till en härlig semester i södern!
Regissören (Tova Magnusson Norling) försöker få till en repetition och lirkar med Ambel (Örjan Ramberg) för att få honom på plats – hon är naturligtvis helt emot reklamfilmen och blir fullkomligt hysterisk!
Mitt i detta kaos finns sminkören "Vippan" (Gösta Ekman) som ett milt motmedel. Han glider omkring i sin vida fluffiga sminkrock med fickorna fulla av allt en sminkör kan behöva. Stella (Lena Nyman) vill pröva "något nytt" i sin sky av cigarrettrök, och den medelålders skådespelaren (Dan Ekborg) springer omkring och försöker vara rolig för att bli omtyckt av Vippan.
Filmen är en hyllning till all scenens folk! Skådespelarna är suveräna och Gösta Ekmans rollporträtt av "Vippan" är nog det charmigaste jag sett på mycket länge.
Redaktörens kommentar (2026): En färgstark och teatralisk hyllning till skådespelaryrket. Marie-Louise Ekmans unika estetik, parad med Benny Anderssons musik, gör *Puder* till en sevärd pärla. Iva faller pladask för Gösta Ekmans lågmälda och varma tolkning av Vippan, en roll som i dag räknas till en av hans mest minnesvärda.

Stop missing out on the biggest metabolic advantage of Extra Virgin Olive Oil! If you use EVOO for weight management and satiety, you must understand the science of timing. This video reveals the single best time, backed by GLP-1 research, to consume raw EVOO to maximize appetite control and optimize your blood sugar response.
👉 THE NIGHTTIME PROTOCOL: Maximize your EVOO benefits around the clock! The Metabolic Mechanism: Why Timing Matters
For those interested in the deep science behind this timing protocol, the goal is not simply calorie counting, but hormonal optimization for spontaneous appetite control.
Consuming Extra Virgin Olive Oil 15-20 minutes pre-meal triggers the powerful release of GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) from the gut. This hormone accomplishes two crucial tasks: Increased Satiety: GLP-1 signals fullness to the brain earlier, resulting in spontaneous lower total calorie consumption during the main meal—a key strategy for weight management. Blood Sugar Control: GLP-1 also slows gastric emptying, which delays the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This leads to a smoother, better blood sugar
response over the following two hours. This timing protocol is designed to use EVOO as a metabolic pre-load for maximum weight and blood sugar control..
Because..timing matters
🚨 THE SCIENCE HAS CHANGED! Your deepest health belief about alcohol is being challenged. We analyze the comprehensive data from The Lancet that demolishes the old "J-Curve" myth and confirms that zero alcohol consumption minimizes health risk.
We explore the difficult question: Is the minor risk from an occasional "skol" worth the major, validated benefit of social inclusion and connection? This is the final, nuanced guide to making your informed choice.
I explain: Why I personally stopped almost all drinking after seeing this data.
The Lancet (GBD Study) and theHopkins Medicine article explaining the J-curve and the "abstainer bias" are linked below.

You don't need to chase 10,000 steps! This video exposes the number's origins (a 1960s marketing slogan) and reveals what modern science actually says.
We break down a 2023 meta-analysis of over 227,000 people that found significant health benefits starting at just 2500 steps. The real secret is consistency, not perfection!
