Trauma
(Portrait of a Confused Father)
Over the course of twenty years, director Gunnar Jensen filmed his son’s life—from his first steps, through a shared journey into the wilderness, to early adulthood, which ultimately took a path no one could have foreseen. In a playfully associative and ironically self-reflective portrait of parental uncertainty, Gunnar confronts the fundamental question: where did it all go wrong? How is it possible that those closest to us can also become the most distant? Both tender and lighthearted, this journey into the inner worlds of two men spans multiple eras and exposes the fragility of the moral values that shaped them.
