David’s Birthday (Il Compleanno), tells of two couples on a vacation by the seaside, whose lives are forever changed when one of the husbands, a therapist, unexpectedly falls passionately in love with his friend’s son. The film produced by Zen Zero had its world premiere at the Venice fest's Controcampo section last September. It marks the first Italian pick-up for NonStop.
What Goes Around (Sorte Kugler) was last year’s biggest local hit in Denmark (over 402,000 admissions). Matthesen plays a bankrupt real-estate executive whose life is on a collision course. His family, his wife, his clients all are getting on his nerves. When fate steps in, he decides to re-evaluate everything. The comedy was produced by Nimbus Film.
Both David’s Birthday and What Goes Around will be introduced by NonStop’s director of sales Michael Werner and sales coordinator Teresa Alldén at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.
