Expat Cinema: The Gullspång Miracle

Expat Cinema: The Gullspång Miracle

Maria Frederiksson - Norway - 2023 - 123 minuten - taal: Swedish - ondertiteling: English

A delightful, cheerful and exciting documentary, full of surprises, eccentric characters and incredible events, that only a Scandinavian writer could make up. Only it’s real… Preceded by the short animated film Wander to Wonder.

A premonition leads two Norwegian sisters to buy an apartment in the small Swedish town of Gullspång. To their surprise, the seller looks identical to their older sister, who died after committing suicide 30 years earlier. What begins as an eerie story of a family reunion soon becomes a Pandora’s Box, as all three women’s lives spiral out of control.

Short film: Wander to Wonder (15 min)

In the 1980s, Mary, Billybud and Fumbleton starred in the popular children’s series Wander to Wonder. But after the show’s creator dies, they are left alone in the studio. Hungry and sad, they carry on making episodes for their fans. Those episodes are getting weirder and weirder. After the great success of her graduation film Edmond, a wonderful animated feature that won director Nina Gantz a Bafta among other awards, this is her second, short stop-motion animated feature – a melancholic, heartbreaking story told full of humour.
