It started out as a private project, Hammar explained during Deadlines Contenders International panel.

That was the main thing.

It started out as life, not as a movie.

The Last Journey documentary

Wikingsson cited the filmsGoodbye, Leninand Joshua OppenheimersThe Act of Killingas sources of inspiration.

Hammar said the film ended up being about his personal journey as much as that of his father.

I think people can relate to that.

Ive come to realize that life consists of many, many different chapters.
