Den sista resan

As real life reality documentaries go, this is a real gem.

Filips father Lars, who is elderly and depressed, is treated to a 'last trip' to his beloved France by his son.

Using recordings from the past, super-8 films mixed with reality-style captures we are taken on an emotional father-son journey on multiple levels.

You have the actual trip but also the emotional journey taken by Filip and his father. We can se the love between a father and a son, and we can see how the son becomes the father, as the father becomes the son.

Lars slowly awakens and for the first time in many years, starts to live again.

This is a heart warming and beautiful story that is rare and it reminds us what family is, or can be.
