MY FAIRY TREE
A unique and multifaceted story about time and belonging. Of bridges between the most different cultures, portrayed here through the main character MIKE ÅRSJÖ, who grows up in a small village deep in the rainforest in PAPUA NEW GUINEA with his Swedish family. The film is important in these times of strong polarization, when we need to show our similarities and our longing for togetherness.

Since Mike speaks their language, the door to the world of the Sawiyano opens and it becomes possible for me to follow the life there and their relationships.

Why Iceland? How did they choose this path, because almost none of them had even heard of the city of Ásbrú until the spring of 2022? They had almost no belongings, but everyone has baggage in the form of life experiences, culture, and habits. And if you believe that a person decorates the place, we can see what came out of this fusion of man and a distant island.
We will witness the birth of new lives and observe their development. Actions and miracles. Thorns and stars.
TEMPORARY SHELTER
CAN YOU SEE ME
Driven by the quest to find answers and explanations for that which, has been hidden for decades, Isac embarks on a journey together with his father Helgi, the filmmaker. A journey that will become an inner quest, as well a physical voyage. The story will be told from two perspectives: from the main character Isac, as well as from the father/filmmaker, where their relation is also a part of the story.
