SOS – En segelsällskapsresa (S.O.S. - A Sailing Conduct Tour), released in some English speaking territories as Swedes at Sea, is a Swedish comedy film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 25 December 1988,[1] and directed by Lasse Åberg. It is the third film in the Sällskapsresan film series.

Synopsis

The outgoing Norwegian art director in billboard advertising, Ole (Skolmen) takes his friend, the socially more cautious electric toaster quality inspector Stig-Helmer (Åberg) to a Stockholm midsummer costume party. The way home takes a wrong turn and the two friends are springboarded through an involuntary cruise on a garbage barge[a] via an upper class financier's summer party at Saltnäs in the Stockholm archipelago to the idyllic island, Stråholmen, threatened by unscrupulous investors and a bent municipal board member's secret and foul development plans.

On the journey, the film takes the viewer through a virtual catalog of the more or less expensive and/or self inflicted mishaps which leasure sailers may call upon themselves in the Stockholm archipelago during the summer.

Events culminate with a match race between two 12 Metre yatchts, the Kookaburra II and the New Sweden being disrupted somewhat by an unidentified undersea vessel[b]
