‘An Education’s’ Lone Scherfig Unveils Plot of ‘60s-Set Swedish Spy Romance ‘Honeytrap’ From ‘Pressure Point’ Scribe Pelle Rådström


The first Swedish feature in development from ‘An Education’s’ Lone Scherfig was pitched Jan. 30 at Göteborg’s Discovery strand.

It’s set in the 60s, an era from my early childhood, that I’ve also portrayed in several works including in “An Education.” It’s super good and I’m very confident with it,” said the director who also serves as co-scribe. Set in 1968, the story turns on Max (28) who attends a Stasi ‘Romeo’ program where agents are trained to seduce secretaries at major Western companies. “Honeytrap” was the only project from the Discovery Co-Production Platform 15 title lineup not vying for the new €15,000 ($15,600) Film Finances Scandinavia Award to be handed out today Jan. 30 in Göteborg.
