Kronprinsen is a talky, specialized political drama about Roald (Bjorn Sundquist), a young man stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time. Roald is politically ambitious but he does not have enough real-world savvy to protect himself from the shark-infested waters around him. After all, he has only been in office for a short time. His tendency to compromise on issues gets him into trouble in an election year when it is discovered that the CIA has been funding the Norwegian Young Labor Party.
