Germany’s Beta Cinema Acquires International Rights to "Let It Rain"

Germany’s Beta Cinema has acquired the international sales rights to "Let It Rain", the upcoming film from director Hannes Holm, whose previous feature, "A Man Called Ove", was nominated for two Academy Awards in 2015.

Production Details

  • Beta will introduce the film to buyers at the American Film Market (AFM) in November.
  • The film is currently in post-production, with principal photography wrapping up at the end of September.
  • The story follows a grumpy widower in a small town in southern Sweden, who is thrust into the spotlight during the hottest summer on record.

Themes and Genre

"Let It Rain" is a magical, larger-than-life comedy-drama that explores the human experience of surprise and the power of collective wish-fulfillment.

"When a simple solution is not to be found, we are more than happy to open ourselves up to pure magic. Something that can’t really be true suddenly becomes true because so many people wish for it at a certain time."
