Norwegian star actor Kristofer Hivju (“Game of Thrones,” “Red One”, “Beck”) will play opposite Friday Hallgren (from Oscar-nominated “As It Is in Heaven”) in the upcoming Swedish-Croatian rom-com “True Love” (working title).
Helmed by actor-turned writer, director and best-selling author Martina Haag, the SF Studios project, now in pre-production, will be pitched Aug. 26. at Haugesund’s Nordic Co-Production Market.
“True Love” marks Haag’s second collaboration with seasoned screenwriter Peter Arrhenius (“Clark,” “Welcome to Sweden,” “Beck”) after the seasoned actor’s directorial debut “Little Did I Know,” which landed a Best Film Award at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival in 2024 before turning into one of Sweden’s biggest box office draws of 2025.
As with ‘Little Did I know,” “True Love”’s starting point is deceit and divorce and how to bounce back when you’re over 50.
According to the logline, when Ellinor (played by Hallgren) is dumped by her husband after 20 years of marriage, she loses faith in life.
