LUCKY won Best Screenplay at the Copenhagen Int'l Film Festival!

Coppenhagen Film Festival

 

 

 

We are honored to have been choosen the 2012 Best Screenplay by the Danish Writer'' Guild!

Excerpt of the international jury's motivation:
It's original, it inevitably touches you despite the unsentimental mood, it avoids taking the obvious gateway into the story but seeks out a new way of portraying a conflict, which has already been portrayed endlessly. The story's simplicity draws you into the film, which still is unpredictable and surprising while delivering a strong contemporary social comment. You experience a foreign world through a strong main character and end up cleverer. The characters stand out as real people remote from any cliché. Despite the heart breaking circumstances the story leaves you with hope for the character's future. Learn more
