When Gustav tries to engage Nora for his new feature film, which he hopes will return to the film scene with him, old wounds reopen …
Director's word: I got the idea for the story when my mother put up my grandparents ' house for sale. It was then that I realized that everything 20 happened in that house. century. My grandfather was a member of the resistance. He was tortured and barely survived, but then he became a filmmaker and even went to Cannes in 1960. I think making movies for him was a way to deal with the trauma. So Eskil Vogt [co-writer] and I started thinking about broader things, like how the war affected my family. Does it really take three generations to get rid of trauma? / ... / The story is filled with a sense of inherited grief, using the house as a starting point for exploring time, forgiveness and emotional inheritance. I am interested in emotions and experiences that are passed down from generation to generation. / ... / Gustav begins to wonder what he inadvertently and unknowingly passed on to his children. This is an important theme of our film. We wanted the family home to serve as a framework within which viewers could think about it. / ... / What interests me about the film is intimacy, getting closer to the human face, honestly observing the human experience. / ... / I cannot make films about antagonists, although the world is full of them at the moment. I'm not interested in portraying 'others' as enemies. I try to understand the complexity of the reasons that make people hurt and disappoint each other. I'm interested in tenderness. / ... / Eskil and I have a punk background; we were part of the counterculture and didn't want to make sentimental films. But over time, we realized that we had grown old and that the world was cruel, so maybe it was necessary to be vulnerable and portray vulnerable characters. So somehow we came to the conclusion that tenderness is the new punk. That's my new motto. What I need most right now is faith that we are able to see each other; that reconciliation can be achieved and that polarization, anger and machismo are not the only way forward.

Sestri, ki ju je po odhodu očeta, slavnega režiserja Gustava Borga, vzgajala mati, sta kljub različnosti tesno povezani. Ko skuša Gustav Noro angažirati za svoj novi celovečerec, za katerega upa, da se bo z njim vrnil na filmsko prizorišče, se stare rane znova odprejo …
Režiserjeva beseda: Idejo za zgodbo sem dobil, ko je moja mama dala na prodaj hišo mojih starih staršev. Takrat sem spoznal, da se je v tisti hiši zgodilo vse 20. stoletje. Moj dedek je bil član odporniškega gibanja. Mučili so ga in komaj je preživel, potem pa je postal filmar in šel leta 1960 celo v Cannes. Mislim, da je bilo snemanje filmov zanj način, kako se spopasti s travmo. Z Eskilom Vogtom [soscenaristom] sva zato začela razmišljati o širših stvareh, na primer o tem, kako je vojna vplivala na mojo družino. Ali so res potrebne tri generacije, da se znebimo travme? /…/ Zgodbo navdaja občutek podedovane žalosti, pri čemer smo hišo uporabili kot izhodišče za raziskovanje časa, odpuščanja in čustvene dediščine. Zanimajo me čustva in izkušnje, ki se prenašajo iz roda v rod. /…/ Gustav se začne spraševati, kaj je nehote in nevede prenesel na svoje otroke. To je pomembna tema našega filma. Želeli smo, da bi družinski dom služil kot okvir, znotraj katerega bi gledalci lahko o tem razmišljali. /…/ Pri filmu me zanima intimnost, približevanje človeškemu obrazu, iskreno opazovanje človeške izkušnje. /…/ Ne morem snemati filmov o antagonistih, čeprav jih je svet trenutno poln. Ne zanima me prikazovanje ‘drugih’ kot sovražnikov. Razumeti skušam kompleksnost razlogov, zaradi katerih ljudje drug drugega prizadenemo in razočaramo. Zanima me nežnost. /…/ Z Eskilom imava punkovsko ozadje; bila sva del kontrakulture in nisva hotela snemati sentimentalnih filmov. Toda sčasoma sva spoznala, da sva se postarala in da je svet krut, zato je morda treba biti ranljiv in prikazovati ranljive like. Tako sva nekako prišla do zaključka, da je nežnost novi punk. To je moj novi moto. Trenutno najbolj potrebujem vero, da smo sposobni drug drugega videti; da je mogoče doseči spravo in da polarizacija, jeza in mačizem niso edina pot naprej.
