Den svenske dramaserien Störst av allt (Quicksand) med Per-Olav Sørensen på regi, er plukket ut til Berlinale Series, der et knippe internasjonale serieproduksjoner blir presentert for festivalpublikummet.

Dette er Netflix sin første svenske originale dramaserie. Sørensen deler regiansvaret med Lisa Farzaneh (Arne Dahl, Det som göms i snö) og Camilla Ahlgren (Broen, Marcella) har skrevet manus. I sentrale roller finner vi blant andre Hanna Ardéhn (30 grader i februari), William Spetz (Solsidan, Jag älskar dig – En skilsmässokomedi), Felix Sandman (We are the best!), David Dencik (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Top of the Lake), Reuben Sallmander (Broen, Millennium) og Anna Björk (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Broen). Executive produsenter er Pontus Edgren og Martina Håkansson, det er Fatima Varhos og Frida Asp som produserer.

Störst av allt er basert på Malin Perssons Giolitos roman som ble kåret til «nordens beste» krimroman i 2017. Som i boken handler det om en skolemassakre der den unge kvinnen Maja blir utpekt som hovedmistenkt. Når man under rettssaken forsøker å forstå hennes motiver og identifisere hva som skjedde, blir vi dratt lenger inn i hennes underlige verden som innebærer en flukt fra virkelighet, famlie og venner.

Berlinale Series startet opp i 2015, og har siden blitt en profilert arena å vise seg på for nye dramaserier. Toneangivende serier som blant annet Better Call Saul og The Night Manager har hatt festivalpremiere der. I fjor ble Hjemmebane vist der.

Per-Olav Sørensen er en av Norges mest erfarne teater- og tv-regissører som fikk sitt gjennombrudd innen dramaformatet med Kampen om tungvannet og Nobel.

In this long-awaited British series, a 14-year-old girl goes out into the world after years of isolation. Trained by her father to be a highly-skilled assassin, she has never learned how to interact with other people. She embarks on a journey across Europe and, in the process, becomes both the hunter and the hunted.

Cast: Sarah Viktoria Frick, Verena Altenberger, Christian Dolezal, Gerhard Liebmann, Lars Eidinger, Sophie Rois, Moritz Bleibtreu, Bela B Felsenheimer, Udo Kier Broadcaster: ORF, TV NOW . In David Schalko’s interpretation of the classic film M, the hunt is on again, this time in snow-covered Vienna. As more and more children disappear, opportunistic politicians shift blame back and forth and in the end everyone becomes a suspect. A mysterious clown whistles a haunting melody that draws everyone in – including the audience.
