Eine letzte Reise

Heartbreakingly beautiful and crafted with great love: with A Last Trip, directing duo Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson embark on a deeply moving journey into their own past.

It’s time for the good things in life—retirement offers the space for new hobbies and joyful days. But for 80-year-old Lars Hammar, this stage of life takes an unexpectedly dark turn. Lars falls into a deep depression. In an effort to rekindle his spark for life, his loving son Filip and Filip’s best friend Fredrik plan a road trip from Sweden to France—where memories and long-forgotten moments become the most treasured souvenirs.

A Last Trip captures the pain of letting go with honesty and emotional depth, striking a truly universal chord. With its touching storytelling, the documentary was chosen as Sweden’s official submission for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
