DESCRIPTION

Handbook for Superheroes is based on the internationally acclaimed book series by Swedish creators Elias and Agnes Våhlund. Since its release, the Handbook for Superheroes books have become a major success across the Nordics and internationally, translated into multiple languages and selling millions of copies worldwide. The empowering story of courage, identity, and resilience has resonated strongly with young readers, making it a natural fit for the big screen.

The film follows Lisa, a vulnerable yet determined girl who discovers a mysterious handbook that unlocks extraordinary abilities. In the troubled city of Rosenhill, she transforms into the masked superhero Red Mask, embarking on a powerful journey of bravery and self-discovery.

As co-producer, Qvisten Animation has contributed to bringing this animaimated universe to life. The technique is a combination of traditional animation and advanced motion capture technology – by capturing authentic performances from actors and translating them into stylized animated characters, the production combines graphic-novel aesthetics and cinematic action. The whole movie is made in Unreal.
