There is something spooky going on at summer camp — and unfortunately for Elvira, it seems to be happening in her room.

Based on Ingelin Angerborn’s beloved book, Room 213 is a cosy Swedish ghost story where haunted rooms, grilled sausages and friendship drama all belong to the same summer. Shy Elvira arrives at camp nervous about fitting in, only to be placed with Meja and Bea in the infamous Room 213, a room no one has used for years.

When strange things begin to happen and the ghost girl Mebel enters the story, Elvira has to face more than just camp rumours. Spooky, warm and full of middle-school shivers, Room 213 is a film about courage, friendship and finding out who you are when things get a little haunted.

Room 213 marked Lindblom’s feature-film debut in 2017. Based on Ingelin Angerborn’s novel, the film combines a coming-of-age story with supernatural horror and went on to screen internationally, including at TIFF Kids and several Nordic children’s film festivals.
