After its screening at the Venice Film Festival, Serielizados Fest premieres in Spain the first series created and directed by the Danish filmmaker, Oscar winner for ‘Another Round’.
Serielizados Fest premieres, in collaboration with Movistar Plus+, the series Families Like Ours, the first incursion of the Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg in the world of series. The production will be screened exclusively in Barcelona after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, in a session that will include the presence of Vinterberg, known for films such as The Celebration (1998), The Hunt (2012) and Another Round (2020), with which he won the Oscar for Best International Film.
Families Like Ours is set in Denmark in a not so distant future. Rising water levels due to climate change have reached a point of no return and the country must begin an evacuation. As people scatter in all directions, they try to say goodbye to loved ones, to places they know and also to people they have been.
Slowly but steadily, everything is different. Property is worthless, fortunes change and luck favors only a few. Those who can afford it travel to other countries, while others less privileged depend on government relocation funds to more troubled destinations. Families and friends are separated. Some are overcome by hatred and division, others try to hold on to affection and build a new beginning.
Its cast includes Amaryllis August, Albert Rudbeck Lindhardt (Another Round), Nikolaj Lie Kaas (The Kingdom: Exodus), Paprika Steen (The Celebration), Helene Reingaard Neumann (Another Round, The Commune), Magnus Millang (Another Round, Borgen), Esben Smed (Follow the Money), David Dencik (Pressure Point, Prisoner, Chernobyl), Thomas Bo Larsen (Another Round, Follow the Money) or Asta Kamma August (Hypnosis, Kalak).
