ACCOLADES:
Winner of the Grand Prix (Euro 3,500 and statuette) at Odense - "A film that
enters ones dreams some time after it is over. Its haunting use of voice over, the
camera's hovering perspective over action, and the manipulation of traditional narrative
structure make it a unique visionary experience."
Also at Odense, winner of the Prize of the Press - "One moment, everything changes
and nothing will ever be the same. A tight story which in a simple, yet moving way
portrays a sudden tragedy. From the beginning the audience knows what will happen, but by
using the inevitability, the knowing and poetic voice-over and by intercutting two idyllic
worlds, the fim creates an almost physical suspense. The film is only 8 minutes, but it
stays with us for a long time, because we all fear that fatal second."
Tribeca Film Festival - "Based on one of the most widely read short stories in
Sweden, this visually captivating story moves with finesse and eeriness. Narrated by
Stellan Skarsgård, co-directed by his son Alexander, and starring another son,
Valter."
