Synopsis
When middle-aged Hugo is approached by the daughter of both of his childhood loves, he is thrown back twenty years in time. Hugo is about to embark on his first years at university and has moved to Stockholm to become a resident of the Stiller family. This is where he meets Thora, the daughter of the house. This is also where he meets August, Thora’s constant companion and occasional lover.
This is just the beginning of a wonderful friendship, of a whirlwind love affair, of the realization nothing will ever be the same again. This is also the reason why Hugo never truly moved on. Will he dare to reclaim everything he has lost?
“I fell in love with the medium of film through grand, epic love stories. With The Trio, I finally have the chance to direct one. An intoxicating, passionate, and bittersweet tale of the conflict between the longing for love and the yearning for freedom. I wantThe Trio to shimmer with life and feel like a sun-warmed stone you want to carry with you.“
