Journalist Kristoffer Eriksen invites some of Denmark's most powerful politicians to a dinner. Here, he will try to have a different kind of conversation with them in calmer surroundings and get closer to who they are and what they want to use their power for.

How can one appoint oneself as the Minister of the Sea and still not get any mud on one's clothes? Kristoffer Eriksen investigates this over a dinner with the politician, who now also has to lead the country's equality efforts.
