Studiocanal Unveils Trailer for Families Like Ours: A Heart-Wrenching Mini-Series

Studiocanal has just released the trailer for Families Like Ours, an evocative mini-series crafted by acclaimed director Thomas Vinterberg. Featuring a talented ensemble cast including Amaryllis August, Albert Rudbeck Lindhardt, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Paprika Steen, and more, the series promises a compelling narrative set in a dystopian future.

Set in Denmark, the series explores a not-too-distant future grappling with the devastating effects of climate change. Rising water levels force the country to evacuate, compelling its citizens to leave behind their homes, loved ones, and familiar lives. As they disperse in various directions, the characters confront the profound changes that come with such upheaval—where property becomes worthless, fortunes shift, and the divide between the wealthy and the less fortunate widens.

At the heart of Families Like Ours is Laura, a high school student experiencing love for the first time and on the brink of graduation. When the evacuation news breaks, Laura’s world is turned upside down. She faces an impossible dilemma: choosing between the three people she loves the most, navigating a landscape fraught with emotional turmoil and uncertainty.

Created and written by Bo Hr. Hansen and Thomas Vinterberg, the series seeks to delve into themes of love, loss, and resilience in the face of adversity. Vinterberg’s directorial vision promises to bring a unique and poignant perspective to the narrative, exploring how relationships evolve and are tested under extreme circumstances.

Families Like Ours, also known as Familier Som Vores, will begin streaming on October 20, 2024. With its rich storytelling and emotional depth, the mini-series is poised to resonate with viewers, inviting them to reflect on the fragility of human connections in times of crisis.
