Write a short summary of what happens in the film

In each film we see an IKEA customer building some IKEA furniture while attempting to pronounce its name correctly. Despite the best efforts of a native Swede to help them, we soon discover that building an item such as a Förhöja, is far easier than saying Förhöja. The customer completes the job of building the item with ease, but completely fails to pronounce its name right even once.
