Jarowskij for TV4 and Cmore
Endorsed by The Swedish Cancer Institute, Fake Patient follows the story of Albin,a people-pleaser who works as a dummy in a medical school, acting out reactions to diagnoses from student doctors.
During an intimate training session, demonstrating how to feel for tumours, Albin is actually diagnosed with testicular cancer after an examination by the student doctors.
Albin has big dreams of becoming an actor and is not prepared to let his cancer diagnosis put an end to his plan. As the disease worsens, the relationship with his girlfriend, Anita, and his friends continues to crack. However he finds new friendship in fellow patient and retiree, Yvonne.
Albin soon discovers that perhaps the disease is not the real problem and that he must take a deeper look at his own life.
