Beta Film’s “Queen Silvia” is world-premiering at Mipcom.

Inspired by the real-life romance between Sweden’s Crown Prince Carl Gustaf and Silvia Sommerlath, a German-Brazilian interpreter who became Queen of Sweden, it’s directed by Miguel Alexandre and stars Alicia von Rittberg and Edvin Endre.

“Even though it’s a very European story, people will see that it’s universal and can be sold – and watched – from Tokyo to Buenos Aires,” says executive producer Justus Riesenkampff.
