Annika Pham Swedish helmer Mika Gustafson, one of a roster of promising Swedish voices with “Clara Sola”’s Natalie Álvarez-Mesén at Stockholm-based Hobab, has finalised the cast for her directorial debut “Sisters.” The feature is in final stages of filming, and co-produced by Italy’s Intramovies, Denmark’s Toobox and Finland’s Tuffi Films.
Ida Engvoll, who broke out in Netflix romcom “Love & Anarchy,” plays Hanna, a young woman drawn into an unexpected adventure when she encounters Laura (16), eldest of a trio of socially-deprived sisters.
Laura asks Hanna to “play” their mum when social services come knocking at the sisters’ doors, threatening to separate them and place them in a foster home.
But when Hanna shows her affection, Laura loses control and starts spiralling downwards. Gustafson who was trained at Ruben Östlund’s auteur-driven Valand film school in Götenborg, said in a statement that she was inspired “by the playfulness of the French New Wave, the absurd world of Harmony Korine, and Andrea Arnold’s way of making girls the owners of their own gaze and masters of their own story.” The emerging director has cast the young non-professionals Bianca Delbravo, Dilvin Asaad and Safira Mossberg for the parts of female siblings Laura, Mira (12) and Steffi (7).
