From Embassy of Denmark:

The Embassy of Denmark is contributing to the European Film Festival 2013 – “Europe on Screen” this year with the film Superclasicó, a modern comedy about divorce, love, passion, and the personal journey towards discovering that what we want isn’t always what we need.

The title Superclasicó refers to the famous football matches between Spanish clubs Real Madrid and FC Barcelona – a rivalry that brings out the warm blooded passion in football fans all over the world. The same kind of rivalry and passion arise between the film’s main characters, who have become divided by cultural differences and expectations towards life.

The film is directed by well-known Danish director Ole Christian Madsen and depicts the story of Christian (Anders W. Bertelsen), a Copenhagen based wine-seller, recently separated and on the brink of bankruptcy. Christian’s ex-wife, Anna (Paprika Steen), who now lives in Buenos Aires, is enjoying a Latin life of luxury with one of Argentina’s top football players until Christian and his 16 year old son arrive under the false pretense of wanting to sign the divorce papers. In reality, Christian is hoping to win Anna back…

The film was picked as the Danish contribution to the Oscar Academy Awards in January, 2012 and has been screened at several international film festivals receiving great reviews from press and audience.
