NOR26 Doctor Glas

A stylish psychological thriller from acclaimed director Erik Leijonborg (King & Conqueror), Doctor Glas explores desire, obsession, and moral decay through the eyes of Gabriel Glas, a young doctor whose fascination with fashion icon Helga Gregorius spirals into madness. The solitary, reclusive doctor Gabriel Glas despises society’s superficiality until fashion designer Helga enters his life. She is trapped in a destructive marriage to the acclaimed writer Patrik Gregorius, and Gabriel sees his chance to save her. Soon, they become caught in a web of lies, desire, and dangerous power dynamics. The deeper Gabriel is drawn into the relationship, the more moral boundaries blur, becoming a gripping exploration of love, guilt, and the monsters we create within ourselves. Starring Isac Calmroth, who also co-wrote the screenplay, Thea Sofie Loch Næss (La Palma, The Last Kingdom), and Christian Fandango (Stormskerry Maja), this modern reimagining of the 1905 Hjalmar Söderberg novel brings a bold and fresh new perspective to the Swedish classic.
