FAMILIES LIKE OURS
NEW APOCALYPTIC MINI TV SERIES
I am taking you today up North to the Kingdom of Denmark where October 20th should see the premiere of their new apocalyptic series FAMILIES LIKE OURS at their TV2. Written and directed by
Thomas Vinterberg, the series had its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival earlier last summer. The series which was shot all around Europe had more than 40 actors and over 2500 extras involved in the production.

THE SEVEN EPISODE SERIES STORY
Countries
disappear, love remains. Denmark, in a not-too-distant future. The
rising water levels can no longer be ignored and the country needs to be
evacuated. As people disperse in all directions, they must bid farewell
to what they love, what they know, and who they are. Slowly but
steadily, everything changes. All property becomes
worthless, all
fortunes shift, and luck favours only a few. Those who can afford it
travel to affluent countries while the less well-off depend on
government-funded relocation to more challenging destinations. Families,
friends, and
loved ones are separated. Some will be overcome by hatred
and division, while others will nurture love and foster new beginnings.
Against this backdrop we meet Laura, a high school student in love for
the first time and on the cusp of
graduation. When news of the
evacuation breaks, the course of Laura and her family's lives are
changed forever, and Laura is forced into the impossible dilemma of
choosing between the three people she loves the most. Nikolaj Lie Kaas and our dear Esben Smed star in the series.
