Paris-based Kinology has acquired world rights for Finnish director Aino Suni’s psychological thriller “A Girl’s Room.”
Cannes-based Adastra Films is teaming on the project with Hamburg shingle and “System Crasher” producer Oma Inge Film and Helsinki-based Made.
Suni’s feature debut follows Elina, a 17-year-old aspiring Finnish rapper forced to leave her home for the south of France after her mother finds a French boyfriend. There, she is drawn to her new stepsister Sofia, a charismatic ballet dancer who leads a double life. Their relationship soon turns toxic, however.
The film follows Suni’s 2018 documentary “Never Again,” about Finnish rap artist Mercedes Bentso (a.k.a. Linda-Maria Roine).
Adastra has worked with Suni since 2012, when it began distributing her short works. “We were so convinced of Aino’s talent as a storyteller that we decided to work with her on her first fiction feature film,” said Adastra producer Sébastien Aubert.
