What is Netflix’s The Storm about?
Filip is turning 45, and has invited his closest friends for dinner at his and his wife’s lavish and newly bought farm estate up north in Sweden. A decadent celebration soon turns bad when a ferocious storm heads directly toward the estate, trapping the group of “friends” together.
As panic sinks in, their polished acts fall, and an unfiltered meltdown starts. When the tension and anxiety creep higher and higher, the group begins to realise the seriousness of the situation sinks in, the farm starts to shrink, secrets spill out, and unexpected feelings take shape. The Storm looks at a hotbed of emotions in a confined space. What could go wrong?
