Synopsis: The Unthinkable (originally titled Den Blomstertid nu kommer), opens to Sweden waking up to a state of emergency in midsomer. The TV, internet and telephone networks are down, and before anyone realizes what’s behind the collapse, a series of unexplained crises take place around the country.

Alex (Christoffer Nordenrot, A Man Called Ove), a successful pianist whose controlled existence is upturned when his mother dies in a suspected terror attack, returns to his childhood village to arrange the funeral. While there, he must reconcile with both his father and his old flame, Anna (Lisa Henni, “Midnight Sun”), who he has desperately been trying to forget. As old feelings come back to the surface, more mysterious attacks plunge Sweden into chaos and confusion.

From first-time feature director Victor Danell, a core member of Swedish film collective Crazy Pictures, The Unthinkable is produced by John Nordling (Let Me In) and Emil Wiklund (Swoon), and also stars Jesper Barkselius (“(Re)volt”) and Pia Halvorsen (“We Got This”).
