European co-producers on board “Sisters” take in Italy s’ Intramovies, Denmark’s Toolbox Film and Finland’s Tuffi Films.
“Sisters” marks Gustafson’s first foray into fiction filmmaking after the doc music bio-pic “Silvana” for which she shared a Swedish Guldbagge for best documentary in 2018. The raw coming-of age title was inspired by the director’s own experience of growing up with her sister in an unsupervised home, and the bond, “stronger than everything else,” that developed between them.
Toplining the cast are the young amateurs Bianca Delbravo, Dilvin Asaad and Safira Mossberg as the three sisters and top actress Ida Engvoll as Hanna. Yousefi said he is looking forward to Göteborg’s work in progress pitch “to attract interest from festival programmers, other distributors and TV channels.”
