Annika - The Complete Series DVD

This three-part drama sensitively portrays a teenage romance between an English boy and a Swedish girl. A joint Swedish-British production, Annika stars Jesse Birdsall (Footballers 'Wives, Bugs) and Don Henderson (Strangers), and was co-written by Colin Nutley, a multi-award-winning English director now living and working in Sweden. Nutley is highly acclaimed for his insightful treatment of the mores of his adopted country, and several of his films have been chosen to represent Sweden at leading international film festivals and at the Academy Awards. Originally screened in 1984, Annika is available here for the first time on DVD. Eighteen-year-old Pete Daniels is spending the summer doing casual work on the Isle of Wight when he meets and falls in love with Annika, a fifteen-year-old language student. Their relationship soon develops into an intense affair - but the time inevitably comes when Annika has to return to her homeland, and Pete makes a life-changing decision.
