The Last Journey Screens At Scandinavia House

The Last Journey is a beautiful documentation of a son who yearns for better days. The days in which his father was more vibrant and vicarious. The son, Filip Hammar goes to great lengths to make his father remember “the good ole days”. “The Last Journey displays a great depiction of love/hurt, joy/pain and reality vs nostalgia.”

THE LAST JOURNEY is Sweden’s highest grossing documentary with over 400,000 admissions and is Sweden’s selection for the Best International Feature Film category for the 97th Academy Awards.

In a desperate attempt to help his father regain his zest for life, filmmaker Filip Hammar takes his dad on a surprise road trip to France, retracing the same journey they made every summer during Filip’s childhood. With the help of his best friend and fellow filmmaker Fredrik Wikingsson, Filip is confident this trip will invigorate his dad by reliving some of the best moments of his life. An honest, genre-defying look at death’s approach as seen through the eyes of a desperate son who has lived in denial of the inevitable, THE LAST JOURNEY is a heartfelt investigation into the end we all face with our parents and a glance into our own futures. THE LAST JOURNEY is directed by Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson.
