About Beneath the Surface
23-year old Sandra has been doing drugs for many years and has realized that she is in need of some kind of treatment. At the clinic she is told that her pimp / boyfriend Roffe has turned his attention to Sandra's younger and well-behaving sister Jannika.
Directed by Daniel Fridell, Beneath the Surface leans on a strong ensemble — Johanna Sällström, Tove Appelqvist, Mikael Persbrandt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1997.
