Gudnason, who was awarded a Guldbagge – the Swedish national film prize – for his role in Danish director Per Fly’s feature (which collected a total of four Guldbagges and the City of Gothenburg Award), and Franz Körlof, who most recently performed in the Blue Eyes television series, will play Arvid, a journalist, and Lydia, an artist’s daughter, who meet on a beautiful evening in the Stockholm archipelago and fall in love.

The August-Scherfig interpretation has been scheduled for a spring 2016 release through Nordisk Film.
