The Playmaker has closed a raft of pre-sales deals on “Ploey 2 – The Legend of the Winds,” which was presented to international buyers for the first time at the European Film Market this month.
The Playmaker screened an exclusive first-look teaser at its booth in Berlin as well as a promo for attending buyers. The sales agency described the film as “an endearing and funny road movie for the whole family about pursuing your own ideals to serve the greater good.”
The film, which is the sequel to the international hit “Ploey – You Never Fly Alone,” will focus on Ploveria, Ploey’s independent female friend who wants to ensure the arrival of spring and fulfil an old legend. The film has a planned release in the first quarter of 2026.
“Ploey 2″ was bought by KMBO for France, Kinoswiat for Poland, Neo Films for Greece, Selim Ramia for Middle East and North Africa, GPI for the Baltic States, Pro Films for Bulgaria, Blitz Film for Former Yugoslavia, and Bir Film for Turkey.
The film centers on a legend that Plovers are the couriers of spring and without them summer won’t come to the northern hemisphere. When the world is threatened with an endless winter a young idealistic plover gathers a company of feathered misfits to foil the plans of the evil Ice Queen. Ploveria abandons her boyfriend and their comfortable life in the south to head north with her new friends to take on the Ice Queen and her fearsome army of ravens, with the aim of securing the arrival of spring and to fulfil the ancient legend.
“Ploey 2 – The Legend of the Winds” is produced by Sigurðsson and Haukur Sigurjónsson at GunHil, and co-produced by Viviane Vanfleteren and Veerle Appelmans at Vivi Films. The production is supported and funded by the Icelandic Film Centre.
