So damn easy going opens film festival

 

We are happy to announce that SO DAMN EASY GOING (Så jävla easy going), based on the critically acclaimed novel by Jenny Jägerfeld, is opening the leading film festival in Scandinavia – Göteborg Film Festival on January 28:th.

The movie by director Christoffer Sandler is also selected to Nordic Competition. It’s a comedy-drama about Joanna, a smart, verbal and not fully socialized young woman, who’s brain is like an amusement park at peak season, an analogue twitter. You could also call it ADHD, and as long as she eats her meds, it isn’t a major problem. So damn easy going is filled with warmth, black humor and surprising twists.
