Uoverskuelig (stylised as uoverskuelig) is a 2022 crime comedy film written and directed by Scovernois director Birger Gram in his feature film debut. The plot follows the inhabitants of a tiny fishing village in eastern Scovern as a drug smuggling plot gradually unravels in the town and encapsulates its residents.
A stately and well-presented Rimsonian gangster (Mathias Fett) and his socialite wife (Jenny Rike), plan to use the small port of the village to smuggle drugs into various cities across the east coast. Through a friend in the village, the two dock there on a yacht, before a local elderly eavesdropper (Adam Zavragin) overhears their plans, demanding his involvement in exchange for his silence. Through gradual slip-ups, most of the village becomes involved in the plan, causing a great deal of stress and anger to the gangster, before the plan eventually blows up in a police raid.
The film is scheduled to premiere at the 83rd Montecara Film Festival, with a worldwide release scheduled for December 1, 2022. It has garnered praise for its comedic nature and its ironic portrayal of rural Scovernois society in stark contrast to the sleek and urbanite nature of Rimso and other large cities. The film also has underlying themes of economic dilapidation and governmental neglect of rural parts of the country. Gram was also the recipient of controversies regarding his portrayal of the urban upper class.
