From Sweden to Sydney, a heartwarming journey unfolds this week as we talk with Filip and Fredrik, the creators of 'The Last Journey.' They delve into the origins of the film, the inspiration behind capturing Filip's father's story, and the emotions involved in seeing a loved one grow older. They reflect on the unique blend of humor and tragedy in Swedish, as well as universal, storytelling. The conversation touches on their friendship, the dynamics of working together, and the impact of their film as an inspiration for others to reconnect with their loved ones. They also share their disdain for scripted comedy, preferring the authenticity of real-life humor, and conclude with recommendations for those who enjoyed 'The Last Journey,' including the film 'Sideways.'
