BAFTA® winner Amma Asante (The Handmaid’s Tale) directs this epic mystery drama based on the bestselling novel by Peter Høeg. Set in a near future surveillance state, the multi-layered story centres on Smilla Jaspersen, a fascinating and unique heroine living in Copenhagen. Amid this futuristic world, dominated by a looming energy crisis, Smilla keeps herself to herself, until she meets a young Inuit boy who finds a way into her heart. When the boy suddenly dies in mysterious circumstances, Smilla is driven to understand why. As her search for answers takes her to the icy landscapes of Greenland and into the midst of dangerous political power plays, Smilla’s own extraordinary abilities will be key to unlocking the truth – about the boy and about her own identity. With its ambitious scale and premium cinematic style, Smilla’s Sense of Snow is a major new returnable event drama for a global audience, weaving highly relevant themes of climate change, politics and immigration into a powerful, one-of-a-kind story.
