A downright hilarious documentary centred on a curious private detective who is followed in an even more curious true-crime case. When football player Zlatan Ibrahimović was still the biggest hero in the Swedish city of Malmö, he was given a statue there, until one night, the nose of the statue is stolen. Detective Claes Ekman is hired to crack the case, but he regards himself more as a James Bond than an investigator.

The audacious theft makes headlines across Sweden and the rest of the world, but the case remains a mystery. Two years later, a local film crew is commissioned to make a true-crime documentary about the case. The crew hires private detective Claes Ekman to lead the investigation. At first, progress is swift, but soon the investigation takes an unexpected turn. Claes starts directing himself and others, obsessed with turning the documentary into an action-packed James Bond thriller. As the lines between reality and fiction blur, the film crew finds themselves questioning what the true purpose of their project is.
