The Buyers Upfront also spotlights titles from ARD, Gaumont, Slot Machine, Reinvent and Korea’s Sidus.
Ella Øverbye, star of Dag Johan Haugerud’s Berlin 2025 Golden Bear winner “Dreams” and Jakob Oftebro (“1864”) topline the real-life thriller, inspired by the incarceration in Bolivia of three Norwegian girls for drug trafficking in 2008. Co-produced by Arte in France and Germany and pre-sold to AMC Iberia for Spain and Portugal and with public broadcaster YLE for Finland, and described as “Breaking Bad” meets “The Bear,” “Fusion” has Darri playing gifted chef Jónas, falsely imprisoned, now out and attempting to regain his family’s trust. Writing their first original song, however, they soon discover that they have a lot to say, as they juggle demanding jobs, grown-up children, complicated parents, husbands who’ve buggered off.” A synopsis with a distinctive Wainright flavor for a potential lineup highlight.
