Re-release of the arthouse hit about a world-famous conductor who, after suffering a heart attack, returns to his hometown in northern Sweden to recover, and ends up taking the local choir under his wing.
As It Is In Heaven tells the story of renowned conductor Daniel Daréus, who returns to his rural hometown in search of peace after having had a heart attack. As he begins working with the local church choir, Daniel finds unexpected healing – and confrontation – as he helps the villagers discover their voices and confront their inner struggles.
Director Kay Pollak weaves themes of forgiveness, love, and transformation into a deeply human narrative, brought to life by Michael Nyqvist’s sensitive performance and a cast of unforgettable characters. The film’s emotional depth and stirring music have made it a modern Scandinavian classic. At the time, Så Som I Himmelen was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
