ABOUT THE STORM

Synopsis: Filip is turning 45, and has invited his closest friends for dinner at his and his wife's lavish and newly bought farm estate up north in Sweden. What they don't know is that a ferocious storm is on its way and that they'll be trapped together. Their polished acts fall, and an unfiltered meltdown starts.
