An intensely gripping legal drama, driven by a relentless pace, morally ambiguous characters, and an aggressive visual style that makes extensive use of handheld camerawork. Winner of the Audience Award at the Series Mania Festival in Lille, it was a major success in its home country and has already been renewed for a second season.

Burden of Justice peels back the polished surface of Stockholm’s elite law firms to reveal a world where desperation, ambition, and moral compromise simmer just beneath the surface. Set in a justice system under pressure, the series delivers an exploration of truth, loyalty, and power – where every verdict has a price.

Broadcast in Canada by Crave, the same network behind the queer hit Heated Rivalry, Happily Ever After tells the story of a heterosexual relationship through a narrative rich with queer sensibilities. From the very end of its first episode, the series begins to question the very concept of marriage itself. For this reason, the festival will exceptionally present two episodes.

We meet Emma and Leo on their wedding day, convinced that, at 25, they know everything about love and commitment. But can their relationship withstand the urge to challenge convention?
