Amanda Kernell’s family drama “Charter” has been selected as Sweden’s submission for an Oscar in the international feature film race.
“Charter” world premiered at Sundance and had its European premiere at Goteborg. It was also recently nominated for the Nordic Council Film Prize. The movie is represented in international markets by TrustNordisk.
The film centers around Alice (Ane Dahl Torp), who hasn’t seen her two children in months after a difficult divorce, as her ex-husband (Sverrir Gudnason) keeps them from seeing her, awaiting the final custody verdict in northern Sweden. When her son calls her in the middle of the night weeping, Alice takes action and abducts her children to venture on an illicit charter trip to the Canary Islands.
