Olesen, is set to become the first Danish original series for HBO Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Based on Erlend Loe\u2019s Norwegian novel <em>Muleum<\/em>, the eight-part series centers on 18-year-old Julie, who is going through an existential struggle after her parents and big brother are killed in a plane crash in Uganda. Left alone in her family\u2019s giant mansion, she is forced to find a reason to keep going and embarks on a dangerous journey of rediscovery.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kamikaze<\/em> is produced by Ditte Milsted from production company Profile Pictures. Production on the series will start at the beginning of January.<\/p>\n<p>Hanne Palmquist, commissioning editor and VP of original programming for HBO Nordic, said: \u201cWhere most Nordic series for young adults are focused on friendships, life at school and the local environment, <em>Kamikaze<\/em> definitely turns its back on the home turf and takes you on a tour de force out in the world\u2014from Seoul to Mexico, London to the Sahara Desert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Milsted added: \u201c<em>Kamikaze<\/em> is a wild, edgy and surprising story about a young woman who\u2014because of some horrific circumstances\u2014takes a giant quantum leap into life. It feels like the right thing to produce <em>Kamikaze<\/em> in collaboration with HBO Nordic, and we believe that this series will both challenge and entertain its audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olesen commented: \u201cWhen I read Erlend Loe\u2019s novel on a plane home from Italy in 2009, I instantly felt it was a fantastic visual story with a mad, wild, angry and funny energy. What is special about <em>Kamikaze<\/em> is the combination of a universal feel of profound meaninglessness, a classic coming-of-age-story and a dry, sharp and life-affirming wit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Algren said: \u201cI can&#8217;t think of a better story to tell an audience\u2014the young human being who has everything and nothing at the same time. All she sees is meaninglessness, so she embarks on a journey through it all and ends up experiencing life, not from the outside, but from the inside. I think it is rare to feel so connected and deeply touched by material that is not originally your own. I am therefore very grateful that the project <em>Kamikaze<\/em> landed on my desk.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamikaze, a new drama from writer Johanne Algren and director Annette K.
