The nude man under the table

When I was a teenager I had the opportunity to be at a set where they filmed a mini-series.

I was amazed at many things. Like how that long gone barber shop became a café for a few hours. And how to hide the shadow of the boom when the sun suddenly dived out from the clouds.

But most of all I wondered how that naked man had ended up under the table.

The mini-series was called “The stairs” and was directed by Eva Bergman and included quite a few well known actors, mostly from the Backa Theatre.

One of these actors was nude and placed himself under one of the café tables on the sidewalk.

Although I didn’t see this. I was suddenly sent up the street to stop the traffic during that take.

And when I turn to take a look if the take is over and I can let the car move along, I see the back of a nude man running away.

I just had to see the miniseries when it turned up in the TV tabloids.

It turned out that the scene didn’t appear until the last episode! And I had to harden myself to make it through the previous ones, every time hoping that this would be the episode with that scene. The series was just so b-a-d.

How he ended up nude under the table?

Well, if you find yourself locked out from your apartment without any clothes on (!) would you then walk out to find your brother to get the spare key?
