Today Netflix announces a new untitled feature film from the acclaimed executive producer behind The Chestnut Man and Borgen and ramps up the Swedish film slate. The yet untitled film is a light hearted comedy and is directed by Lisa Aschan (Ring Mamma) and features a strong and refreshing new cast that includes Charlotta Bj rck, Sanna Sundqvist and Ia Langhammer among others.

Production has just begun in Stockholm, Sweden. The Swedish-language drama is a heart-warming story with a light touch of humor and will be the first Netflix film produced by Meta Film Stockholm.

Lisa Aschan, director, says I was completely blown away by Marie's script. Making it come to life has been very intriguing and so much fun.

Sara lives in a perfect nuclear family with Dani l, their little son, Eliot and soon a second child on its way. But their life is to be turned upside down and the heavily pregnant Sara is suddenly left alone. The help soon appears from a completely unexpected side when Sara's estranged older sister, Linda, a helpless immature adult with a big erratic dog offers to move in and help out. This is a heartwarming story about forgiveness, family, and sisterhood, that will have you both crying and laughing by the end.

Meta Louise Foldager S rensen, executive producer and CEO of Meta Film says We are proud and happy to announce our very first feature film for Netflix, which hopefully will be the first of many. Marie sterbye s captivating manuscript swept my feet away immediately, and I look forward to seeing it develop into a film in the skilled hands of Lisa Aschan.
