In two screenings on August 4, see the hit new Nordic survival thriller Breaking Surface (Sweden, Belgium, Norway, 2019; dir. Joachim Hedén) at Scandinavia House!

Hailed as a “ticking-clock drama that keeps the momentum high throughout” (Third Coast Review), Breaking Surface follows half-sisters Ida (Moa Gammel) and Tuva (Madeleine Martin) as they set out a few days after Christmas 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, and cutting them off completely from any chance of outside rescue. As the frantic race for survival unfolds, Ida is put to the ultimate test of character and forcefulness fighting to save Tuva, exposing a fractured sisterhood with stakes beyond simple survival. (82 min. In Swedish & Norwegian with English subtitles)

“A worthy representative of the fascinating world of genre films, Breaking Surface shows us just how much the field has to offer in the way of formal sophistication”—Cineuropa
