Finnish filmmaker Juho Kuosmanen is set to take the plunge, not only will he be switching languages, but he’ll be changing landscapes for his upcoming third feature film (which was recently featured 2026 Investors Circle Initiative). Lensing on Dream Come True (akja En Ægte Drømmer) is set to begin later this year in Finland, Denmark’s Jutland and France with thesps Magnus Millang, Paprika Steen, Ellen Kihri and Ragnhild Kaasgaard toplining. Cineuropa reports that Aamu Film Company’s Jussi Rantamäki and Snowglobe’s Katrin Pors will produce. Kuosmanen directed The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki (read ★★★½ review) and Compartment No. 6 – which won Cannes’ second highest prize in 2021. The Croisette could be in the cards again for 2027. Here is the synopsis on what is being coined and adventure tragi-comedy:
This is the story of 43-year-old Rasmus, a Danish commercial diver who clears blocked drains and welds seams deep underwater for a living. Fortune smiles on Rasmus when he discovers a shipwreck during one of his dives. In the wreckage, Rasmus discovers thousands of pristine bottles of champagne from the oldest drinkable vintage in the world – a treasure worth millions. After living with his daughter under his mother’s roof for so long, this is his chance at a new life. But Rasmus will come to realize that some dreams are best left undiscovered.
