A heartfelt romantic comedy about Stockholmers Hanna (Matilda Källström) and Samuel (Charlie Gustafsson), whose dreams of a quiet, intimate countryside wedding are turned upside down by the well-meaning chaos of family and friends. As tensions rise, Hanna flees the ceremony, and tempers boil over into a full-blown fight. But from the wreckage of the day emerges a fresh start—one that promises a brighter and happier future.
RIP Henry | Norway | Channel 4 / Walter Presents | 14th February
Henry (Mads Ousdal), a brilliant but abrasive surgeon, has always been out of place in Odda, the small Norwegian town he now calls home. Known for his skill but not his charm, Henry is eager to leave for a prestigious position in Bergen and put his painful past behind him.
Just as his fresh start seems within reach, Henry is confronted with a life-threatening diagnosis—one he can’t fix, despite his ability to save others. As he battles for his survival, Henry begins to question everything he thought he knew about life, purpose, and connection. Along the way, he discovers that healing can come in unexpected forms, and love often finds you when you’re least prepared for it.
