He wants to cast his youngest (played by Renate Reinsve), an actress, in the lead role. But she, still angry at him, refuses. And so, he turns to a younger star, played by Elle Fanning."
"This melodrama has earned Skarsgard, who was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, his first Oscar nomination after six decades in the business. When he meets with EL PAIS, he's tired. Three years ago, he suffered a stroke that has affected his work. However, he's happy about the accolades for Sentimental Value and also because his eighth grandchild has just been born."
