Olavskino: PORTRETT AV EN FORVIRRET FAR

Gunnar Hall Jensen reflects on his desperate attempts to reconnect with his son, Jonathan. Their journey—marked by closeness, distance, and reconciliation—leaves Gunnar searching for answers. At the same time, Jonathan is gradually drawn deeper into a world of social media and questionable role models in his pursuit of becoming the best version of himself. This growing divide pushes father and son further apart and ultimately leads to a devastating event that shakes the entire family.

The film begins as a documentary about fatherhood and what it means today. Hall Jensen, who grew up without a father himself, explores the challenge of building a bridge between father and son across generations and vastly different life experiences. But the story takes an unexpected turn, leading viewers down a much darker path.

Through Hall Jensen’s open, honest, and unflinchingly raw storytelling style, the film offers a unique insight into the father-son relationship over many years. The result is a deeply affecting documentary that stays with you long after the credits roll.
