The Minister - Season 1 (2020)

Benedikt travels north to sign a permit for the construction of a hotel resort in his hometown, where he meets his ex-girlfriend that convinces him to prohibit the construction.

Benedikt abuses his temporary power as president to set a provisional law providing the family of a Ukrainian doctor with citizenship - a law requiring more signatures than his own.

The parliament discusses the option of adopting the Euro. Benedikt however, is obsessed with reworking a medieval music transcript into a musical. In his first brush of psychosis, he declares that Iceland will adopt the Euro unilaterally.

When Steinunn's family has convinced Rikarður to deprive Benedikt of legal autonomy in court, a delegation of EU officials arrives in Iceland to oppose the plan of unilaterally adopting the Euro.

A search and rescue party manhunt finds Benedikt unconscious in the highlands. Benedikt allies now all want to replace him.
