The documentary "The Last Journey" tells the story of a son who seeks to help his 80-year-old father regain his zest for life by embarking on an adventure in the south of France. In an exclusive interview, directors Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson shared details about the filming process and the experiences they lived through.
"We did what we wanted to do and apparently it resonated with people," expressed Lars's son, Filip. The documentary, which addresses a father's aging and eventual death, combines moments of sadness and happiness with a touch of humor.
