”Von Fersen” is described in a press release from the streaming service as a romantic drama that takes place in 18th-century Stockholm. At the center are the siblings Axel and Sophie von Fersen and the film follows their both glamorous and stormy lives. When the siblings' status is taken from them, they struggle to protect the family's future – and discover that love can be their salvation.
In the roles of the von Fersen siblings, Alva Bratt (”Barracuda queens”, ”The dance club”) and Christian Fandango (”A completely ordinary family”) can be seen. In other roles, among others, Alexander Abdallah as King Gustav III as well as Jonas Karlsson and Lina Englund can be seen.
The film is directed by Amanda Adolfsson. The premiere date has not yet been set, but filming has recently begun.
Axel von Fersen was a Swedish count, military man, courtier and diplomat, nowadays perhaps best known for his alleged relationship with the French queen Marie-Antoinette.
