The lauded TV series is directed by Tomas Alfredson from scripts adapted by writer Sara Johnsen.

“A beautiful monument to the consequences of infidelity. /…/ It’s elegant, glossy, and, just like a good flirt, utterly impossible to look away from.”
– SvD, Sweden ★★★★★
“Brilliant Bergman remake. /…/ A drama that hits all the perfect notes.”
– SR P1, Sweden ★★★★★
“Heartbreaking and piercing /…/ Beautiful, well-acted, poignant and emotionally charged – Faithless is a Swedish TV series treasure which moves you deeply and challenges our ideas about love, power, and betrayal.”

Recently divorced and disillusioned by life, freelance journalist Desiree Swahn is handed a job by her new boss: to write a portrait of legendary star chef, Pierre Bernard. It’s an assignment far from the prestigious one she’d been promised. But Desiree and Pierre’s meeting will come to be more transformative than she could have ever imagined. Pierre Bernard’s life hasn’t only been filled with culinary accomplishments, but also passionate love and heart-rending sorrow. He takes Desiree on a journey through time, from the Grand Hotel in Stockholm in the 1920s, to Paris and a war-torn London, to a Budapest in upheaval, and the most iconic wedding of the century.
