ACE OF BASE: ALL THAT SHE WANTS
Synopsis
Ace of Base is Sweden's third biggest pop export after Abba and Roxette. The band's first album "Happy Nation" was released in 1993 and is still today the biggest debut album of all time by a European musical artist with 25 million copies sold worldwide.
But behind the successes also hides a deep and unknown darkness. Ulf Ekberg is threatened with death by right-wing extremists and is forced to perform in a bulletproof vest and have bodyguards with him during the world tours. Jenny Berggren is attacked by a German fan in her home, which traumatizes her for life. Quarrels about songs and money create further friction in the quartet.
In this three-part series, grandiose pop dreams, charts and money collide with relentless adversity, performance anxiety and shattered friendships.
