Alexis Almström to direct ‘Vinterviken 2021’ for Netflix
Netflix is making a new Swedish original film based on Mats Wahl’s novel Vinterviken, which was adapted into a successful feature film also in 1996.
Vinterviken 2021 is set in Stockholm, 2021, and focuses on the love story between two young people raised in the same city yet living light years apart, separated by economic, social, and cultural differences until they enter the same high school class.
The feature film will be produced by Filmlance International, with Teresa Alldén as producer and Alexis Almström as director. Dunja Vujovic serves as the screenwriter. The trio previously collaborated on Top Dog, a TV series based on the Jens Lapidus trilogy.
