Paradox/SF Studios releases the trailer for the new Norwegian suspense drama Storm
SF Studios has released the trailer for the new feature film Storm from its Norwegian production company Paradox (Utøya - July 22, King’s Choice) with the debutant director Erika Calmeyer. The film is a suspense drama and stars Ane Dahl Torp (Charter) in the lead role portraying a mother in an impossible situation, as it questions: can the unconditional love between a mother and her daughter overcome anything? Storm will premiere in cinemas in Norway on September 30 followed by an international release. SF Studios distributes the film in the Nordics and REinvent handles international sales.
Watch the trailer here.
Single mother Elin is off with her two kids on a fishing trip when the worst imaginable thing happens: while playing with his sister out of his mother’s sight, Ulrik (6) falls into the river and drowns in the heavy streams. Elin is left with her daughter Storm (10), struggling to get their life back on track when a classmate claims to have seen Storm deliberately push her brother into the river. The accusations quickly spread in the small community. Elin fiercely defends her daughter, but as her own narrative waivers she is forced to face the truth about what really happened that day by the river.
The debuting feature film director Erika Calmeyer has since her graduation from the Norwegian Film School in 2014, received a lot of attention and participated in the Next Nordic Generation program during the film festival in Haugesund and Nordic Film days in Lubeck. She has also won the Critics' Award at Les Infants Terribles in Belgium. Erika has recently directed several TV series such as Twin and Young Royals.
Storm is based on script by screenwriter Johan Fasting, who has worked as a writer on several feature films and award-winning TV series such as Home Ground.
The film is produced by Finn Gjerdrum and Stein B. Kvea for Paradox/SF Studios with the support from the Norwegian Film Institute.
