The Return

Synopsis

The life of two brothers is suddenly shattered by the appearance of their father, whom they remember only by a 10-year-old photograph.

Is he really their father? Why did he come back after so many years? Children find the answers at a remote and desolate island, travelling with the man who turns their life upside down.

The rugged beauty of the northern lakes and forests adds a peculiar dimension to the unfolding human drama.

Statement Regisseur

When I was shooting the film I did not see the story as an every day or a social one. To a great extent the film is an intent mythological look at human life. This is probably what I would like the audience to keep in mind before they enter the screening room.
