Bloody Disgusting has the first photo and art from the diving survival drama Breaking Surface, which ScreenDaily reports is being sold by TrustNordisk at EFM.
Joachim Hedén directs Moa Gammel and Madeleine Martin in the story of Swedish/Norwegian half-sisters who go on a winter diving trip in Northern Norway when they get trapped after a rockslide.
The site notes that the film shot in Belgium (at the world’s deepest water tank at Lites studio) as well as in Strömstad, Sweden; Lofoten, Norway; and Göteborg, Sweden.
Here’s a longer synopsis provided to Bloody:
” A few days after Christmas, Swedish/Norwegian half-sisters, Ida and Tuva, set out on a winter dive in a remote part of the Norwegian coastline. Towards the end of the dive, a rockslide traps Tuva under water. As Ida surfaces to call for help, she discovers that the rockslide has struck above water as well, burying their equipment, phones and car keys… they are completely cut off from any chance of outside rescue. As the frantic race for survival unfolds, Ida is put to the ultimate test of character and forcefulness. During Ida’s fight to save Tuva, a fractured sisterhood is exposed, and when all seems lost, the stakes have risen beyond simple survival.”
Julia Gebauer and Jonas Sörensson produce for Sweden’s Way Creative Films with co-producers Film i Väst, SVT, Film i Skåne, Umedia, Filmfond Nord and Screen Flanders.
Nordisk Film will distribute in Scandinavia with the theatrical launch planned for the end of 2019.
