Beta Film, which is heading to Cannes with the world premiere of Swedish royal romance drama “Queen Silvia,” has acquired world distribution rights to Italy’s “The Man from Milan” and, from Ukraine, “Silent Nava.”

The two new eight-part crime series will likewise make their market debut at Mipcom.

Directed by Simone Spada (“Rocco Schiavone: Ice Cold Murders”) and produced by Cross Productions, RAI Fiction and Beta Film, “The Man from Milan” follows a notorious criminal who joins a rehabilitation program as his ticket to freedom, only to discover that the hardest escape is from himself. The series stars Alessandro Tedeschi (“The Hummingbird”), Vittoria Puccini (“Kiss Me Again”) and Alberto Astorri (“Rose Island”).
