This is adding to the deals already closed with all Nordic pubcasters (NRK in Norway, YLE in Finland, SVT in Sweden, DR in Denmark, RUV in Island), among others.

Based on the bestselling and iconic novel “La Storia” by Elsa Morante and starring multi-awarded Jasmine Trinca ("The Gunman", "Saint Laurent"), Elsa Morante’s La Storia became a sensation in Italy.
