A One-Way to Antibes stars legendary Swedish actor-singer Sven-Bertil Taube as George, a widower who discovers that his children (Malin Morgan, Dan Ekborg) have conceived an elaborate plan to get their hands on his assets before he dies. He plans a counterattack.

The Swedish Film Institute just awarded SEK6m (€654,000) in production support to the film produced by Håkan Bjerking for Eyefeed and Cimbria Film, in co-production with Filmpool Nord and Swedish public broadcaster SVT.

Svensk Filmindustri AB will distribute the film domestically in September 2011.
