After the Netflix series "Love & Anarchy", director Lisa Langseth returns to the film world with the twisted romantic comedy "The Dance Club".

In the leading roles, we see "Young Royals" actor Nils Wetterholm and "Barracuda Queens" familiar face Alva Bratt. In other roles, there are Pernilla August, Mattias Varela, and comedian Evelyn Mok. Another supporting role is played by "Bachelorette" profile Julia Franzén, who thereby makes her film debut.

The film is about Johannes, an odd psychology student who, together with performance artist Rakel, forms a club for patients who want to strike back at those who have caused them pain.

"I have conducted research on today's wild west psychiatry in parallel with writing the script for the film. With this story, I explore why the number of neuropsychiatric diagnoses is increasing in Sweden, with as much humor as love", says Lisa Langseth in a press release.

"The Dance Club" begins filming in September and is expected to have its cinema premiere next autumn.
