Robert Gustafsson (The 100-year-old Man) stars as a grumpy widower who finds himself at the center of an event that could transform not only his own life but the fate of his entire village, and possibly the world.
The Physician II – sequel to the 2013 hit, with Tom Payne (Horizon, Prodigal Son) reprising the role of gifted healer Rob Cole – has pre-sold to Spain (Dea Planeta), Portugal (Outsider Pictures), Italy (Rai Cinema), Austria (ORF), Czech Republic and Slovakia (Bonton), Former Yugoslavia (Blitz), Poland (Monolith), Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia (Paradise).
