http://www.svt.se/jordskott/yohio-gor-skadespelardebut-i-nya-serien-jordskottSeveral years have passed since police commissioner Eva Thörnblads daughter Josefine disappeared at the forest lake in Silverhöjd. It was considered a tragic drowning accident, but the body was never found. Now it happens again. A child disappears and Eva returns to her hometown to participate in the search, convinced that someone has taken the kids.
How far are we prepared to go to protect those we love, and what hidden forces can backfire if we let selfishness and greed rule our lives? Jordskott is a scary story with roots in the Swedish primeval forest. The answer lies below the surface.
The story takes place in the present, yet its tales and characters are rooted in Scandinavian legends. Five children have disappeared from the small community of Silverhojd over a ten-year period. The crime investigators at the local police department are puzzled in their search.
Writer and Director Henrik Bjorn, commented: "Jordskott has everything I like in story: an interesting and fresh hybrid of crime drama and supernatural that think will capture the audience. It's epic, beautiful and frightening.
"Jordskott begins as a dark 'Swedish crime' story but as the story goes, we understand that there is a further dimension to discover. It’s a script with many layers and all very visually-driven. My influences are films such as Pan’s Labyrinth and Let the Right One In. I look forward to making this exiting and rich universe come to life. This saga has just begun."
Yohio plays the role of Linus - a grumpy emo who believes that the whole world has gone mad. In the series, he plays opposite Happy Jankell. In other roles we see Moa Gammel, Göran Ragnerstam and Ann Petrén.
