“Ronja’s confidence and complexity make her one of my all-time favourite characters,” said Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group’s CCO. Ronja and Birk flee into the forest and try to survive on their own. But when Ronja befriends the young boy Birk from a rival band, a vicious family feud ignites. As Ronja grows up, she learns that the surrounding forest can be a magical and sometimes dangerous place filled with strange creatures. The series follows the adventures of a young girl born into a band of robbers in a medieval Scandinavian fortress. As many as 70 feature films and TV productions have been adapted on the author’s novels, according to NENT Group.
