EUROPA
Winner of the 2017 British Science Fiction Award
Genre-bending science fiction epic adapted by Peter Straughan (Wolf Hall, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Conclave) from the prize-winning novels by Dave Hutchinson.
“With Europe at Dawn, Dave Hutchinson brings his magnificent “fractured Europe” series to an end and cements his position as one of the UK’s foremost writers. Hutchinson’s Europe, splintered into a thousand bickering new states, is strangely haunted by an alternative reality ruled by a stiflingly small-c conservative “Community”. I consider this series the best fictional response to Brexit yet published, and Europe at Dawn is a superbly judged conclusion.”
— The Guardian
Director: Tomas Alfredson
