Jesper Ganslandt

They say you should always look ahead. I’m still thinking about the past. I can see the children that we were. I’m still like that inside. This was the last chance of catching it before it disappeared. I didn’t want to wait until we were old men to make this film. We thought we could just as well make it now. With the people it’s about, instead of actors pretending to be real people. That’s fine sometimes, but not for this one. I want Holger to be Holger, for real and pretend. I want to see everyday life without cinema’s usual embellishments. For me, the film is about two best friends. Guys who have chosen each other over girls, family and future. Time stands still in the bubble that is summer vacation. It’s all wide open but nothing beckons. The calm summer walk through life where even the most fateful decision has to be respected. Even if it is the end. The summer is like a dream, at dusk looming over the sea.
