The Rooster is a comedy film released on September 4, 1981, with a runtime of one hour and thirty-seven minutes. Set in 1944, the story follows a character named Cederqvist who arrives at a small cloth factory to evaluate how the all-women employees can work more efficiently. Initially, Cederqvist is greeted with suspicion by the workers, and his early attempts at courting the young ladies prove to be futile. However, the situation changes once he purchases a car. Having a vehicle makes it much easier for him to interact with the employees, particularly because he holds the power to relocate workers to an easier line of work.
