With Open Eyes (2013)

None | Sweden | Swedish | 15 min
Directed by: Erik Bäfving
N/A

One day, without warning, a father jumps to his death from his office window. The son finds a message: "I hope you will like me again one day." This film, made 25 years after the event, is dedicated to that sentence. It kept haunting the boy, Erik Bäfving. Can you love a father who simply vanishes without giving you any chance to ask why? As a child Erik Bäfving retired into the world of his drawings. Now he meticulously analyses the family photos. Negatives are turned into positives and vice versa. But it's better to mistrust the arrangements, for the family chronicle turns more and more into the writing on the wall that no generation can escape. The photos lose their familiar chronological position, whirling around until they find new reference points that suggest dependencies and fears.
