Produced by GunHil, with Sigurðsson and Sigurjónsson at the helm, and co-produced by Vivi Films, 'Ploey 2' has already garnered significant attention in the film industry. The Playmaker has been chosen to handle the world sales for this enchanting film, adding to their already impressive portfolio.
Described as an 'endearing and funny road movie,' the film follows the journey of Ploveria, Ploey's independent female friend who embarks on a mission to fulfill an ancient legend and ensure the arrival of spring.
