Germany sales agent Global Screen has acquired worldwide sales rights to Finnish filmmaker Klaus Haro’s English-language debut My Sailor, My Love.
The film shot last year in Ireland. It stars James Cosmo, Catherine Walker and Brid Brennan.
My Sailor, My Love tells the story of a retired sea captain who falls in love with his home aid; but his middle-aged daughter does not approve of the relationship.
The film is written by Jimmy Karlsson and Kirsi Wikman.
It is produced by Kai Nordberg and Kaarle Aho for Finland’s Making Movies ; and David Collins for Ireland’s Samson Films. Executive producers are Cloe Garbay and Bastien Sirodot for Belgium’s Umedia.
The film was backed by the WRAP Fund West-Ireland, the Finnish Film Foundation and Screen Ireland.
Klaus Rasmussen, SVP international theatrical sales and acquisitions at Global Screen, described the feature as “an engrossing and moving narrative centred on growing old, later love and complex family relationships.”
