Beta Film has released a moving trailer for the Ukrainian war drama “In Her Car”, a gripping series about the ongoing crisis told through the eyes of those living it, the company announced ahead of Mipcom.
“In Her Car (10 x 30′) is produced by Starlight Media and Gaumont in co-production with France Télévisions, ZDF (Germany) and Swiss public broadcaster SRF. Nordic public broadcasters SVT (Sweden), DR (Denmark), YLE (Finland), NRK TV (Norway) and RÚV (Iceland) have also boarded the show in its early stages. Showrunner and creator Eugen Tunick directs alongside Arkadiy Nepytaliuk.
The story begins with the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Lydia, played by Anastasia Karpenko (“How is Katia?”), is an experienced therapist who, in addition to her practice, fields questions and concerns from her followers on social media. Privately, her life is in turmoil as she tries to divorce a husband who not only cheated on her, but is complicating her efforts to make a fresh start by delaying the process.
One day, Lydia picks up a young woman by the side of the road, and soon other passengers follow. Thus begins an odyssey that will change her life forever, as the passengers she helps face not only the harrowing struggles brought on by the Russian invasion, but also the personal dramas that intertwine with her own life. And while her daughter urges her to flee the country, Lydia has found a new purpose – driving people to safety. Not only does she risk her life, but she slowly uncovers her husband’s dark activities, shedding light on corruption, deceit and the real reason for her sister’s death.
