Nelly Rapp - Monsteragent
Swedish horror comedy for children about an eight-year-old girl who discovers that her uncle is a member of an underground network of ‘monster cops’.
Nelly has her own special way of seeing things. Where others are spooked, she remains unfazed. Monsters in the basement? One more reason to check the place out! Snooping around in Uncle Hannibal’s labyrinthine mansion, Nelly stumbles upon an incredible secret: her family has been keeping the peace between humans, zombies, vampires, and other gruesome creatures for decades, as members of an international brigade of monster agents. Nelly wants to hunt monsters too, but what if she has been misled about who is actually responsible for fear and scariness?
In NELLY RAPP, based on Martin Widmark’s book series, the pressure to conform is revealed as the true source of horror. (source: www.berlinale.de)
