Miia Tervo’s ‘Very Timely’ Comedy ‘The Missile’ Debuts Trailer as Picture Tree International Boards Film Before Göteborg Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)
Picture Tree International boards Miia Tervo’s 1980s-set comedy ‘The Missile,' which has bowed its trailer ahead of Göteborg.
Tervo’s second feature after the award-winning “Aurora” – which opened the Swedish fest back in 2019 – teases a “uniquely crafted mix of political satire, heartfelt comedy and kitchen-sink drama, rooted in Northern brevity and melancholy,” according to its description. Starring Oona Airola (pictured above in a first-look image), the film kicks off in Finkand’s Lapland in 1984, when an unexpected Soviet missile incident disrupts the tranquil life of single mother Niina. Directed by Tiina Lymi and shot in English and Swedish, it focuses on a young peasant woman and her family, as they embark on a journey to the desolate and remote island of Stormskerry.
