A successful international conductor suddenly interrups his career and re-turns alone to his childhood village in Norrland, in the far north of Sweden. It doesn’t take long before he is asked to come and listen to the fragment of a church choir, which practises every Thursday in the parish hall. Just come along and give a little bit of good advice. He can’t say no, and from that moment, nothing in the village is the same again. The choir develops and grows. He makes both friends and enemies. And he finds love.

It’s an innocent world full of hope when the two brothers Laust and Peter grow up under poor, but also happy, circumstances far off in the countryside in the middle of the 19th century. Denmark is enthused following the victories over the Prussians and Schleswig in 1851, and political forces are scheming to annex Schleswig into the Danish Kingdom – in utter disregard of all European treaties and despite how pro-vocative it would be to Prussia. Meanwhile, Laust and Peter grow up and fall in love with the adorable Inge, a wellread Proprietor’s daughter that lectures them on poetry, philosophy and women’s liberation! And Inge returns their love. She loves Peter for his sensitivity and intellect, and Laust for his strength and drive.
When the leader of the Danish parliament, Monrad, finally manages to carry the mo-tionthat Schleswig should be annexed, everybody knows war is coming. As Peter and Laust’s father died from wounds caused by a Prussian bullet in 1851, they quickly volunteer for the army.
In 2011 the unapproachable and maladjusted Claudia walks around in the same area. She lost her brother in the Iraq War and on the verge of a complete breakdown, she’s forced to accept a job as an aide for the 100-year-old Baron at the manor. Here Claudia discovers Inge’s forgotten diary that tells the story of Peter, Laust and Inge and a country erupting into war. A war that would become one of the bloodiest in Eu-ropean history – an unparalleled massacre – forged by political hubris and blunders. The story of thousands of Danish soldiers thrown to the lions when the Prussian and Austrian armies decimated the Danish troops in 1864.

Monica, a young, rebellious small town girl is determined to make it as a singer in the vibrant jazz clubs of Stockholm, and even New York City, in the sixties. Beautiful and sensual, she embarks on the singing career of her dreams, and an exquisite singer and actress evolves in the golden era of jazz.
But behind all the glamour, Monica struggles to face the dark side of fame and success. As late nights of working and partying keep playing a bigger part in her life, the walls around her begin to shake. With a string of broken love affairs, a father she can never please, and a daughter to whom she’ll never be the perfect mother, Monica finds herself feeling more lost than ever. And when the morning breaks, she’s alone, with a cocktail in her hand. Is this a road with no turning back?
“Set in the glamour and free spirit of the early sixties WALTZ FOR MON-ICA also deals with a very contemporary theme about loosing yourself while living out your ambition.

A love story - covering the 42-year and 12-film relationship between legend-ary actress Liv Ullmann and master filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
This documentary is a homage - an affectionate but truthful account of two intertwined lives that experienced the full spectrum of emotions together, survived through extraordinary times, and left us with enduring creations as proof of the passion of their relationship both on and off-screen.
Told entirely from Liv Ullmann’s point of view through an interview, this biopic of an extraordinary relationship is constructed as a collage of images and sounds from the timeless Ullmann-Bergman films, behind-the-scenes foot-age, still photographs, passages from Liv’s book ‘Changing’ and Ingmar’s personal letters to Liv.
Ultimately this film is a candid look, not only at two of the greatest artists of our time, but also at two human beings, friends and soul mates.

Marie Krøyer was married to the great, Danish painter P.S. Krøyer. At the peak of their marriage, very much marked by easy living and high social status, Krøyer’s mental illness is getting more severe and their dream of sharing a life as artists is crumbling and turning to frustration and sorrow.
For Marie, it is the frustration of being torn between her roles of wife, mother and artist; of not being able to express herself through her art, and the sor-row of seeing her beloved husband slowly changing and slipping further into insanity. To get some peace and regain strength, mother and daughter take a vacation where Marie meets and falls head over heels in love with Swedishcomposer Hugo Alfvén. Marie boldly leaves her husband for her new love, knowing only little of the world-shattering choices that lie ahead of her. COUNTRY / LANGUAGE:

A six part dramatization of one of the most exciting stories from the Second World War - the Nazi’s efforts to develop an atom bomb and the Allies’ des-perate struggle to prevent it from happening.
The series starts in Stockholm in 1933 when German scientist Werner Hei-senberg is awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics and ends with the American atom bomb over Hiroshima in 1945. One of the dramatic high points is the daring sabotage mission to blow up the heavy water factory in the Norwe-gian mountains in 1943.
Leading English, Norwegian and German actors portray real life characters and we get to understand their dilemmas and challenges in this epic story, the outcome of which will determine the future of democracy.

Revolving around the life of un-produced screenwriter Barnum Nilsen, The Half Brother is a dramatic family saga that offers an historical parable of 20th century Europe. On V Day, May 1945, as a continent emerges from war, Barnum’s mother Vera is raped in her attic in Oslo by an unknown man, leading to the birth of Barnum’s half brother, Fred.
When Barnum is born five years later, to the man that Vera has since met and married, the Nilsen family, like Europe, is already splitting in two. Growing up together during the Cold War – Barnum with his father, Fred searching for his – the half brothers become estranged and Fred eventually disappears.
At the film festival in Berlin in 1990, as the Wall is still coming down, Barnum learns that Fred has returned. Finally, as the true identity of Fred’s father comes to light, the two half brothers may once again be reunited.
A Scandinavian family saga based on the internationally acclaimed and best-selling novel by Lars Saabye Christensen.
