PREMIERE STATUS
Croatian premiere

Four-year-old Jimmie and his father are forced to leave their home in Sweden. Told from a child's perspective, the story shows fragments of the refugee family trip. Jimmie and his dad travel on black waters, wander along railway tracks, and rely on the kindness of strangers to reach their goal – a place where they could feel safe. Taking place in several unnamed countries, their journey begins in the north of Europe, and ends at the Mediterranean.

Jesper Ganslandt (Falkenberg, 1978) is a self-taught Swedish director and writer with a successful international career. His second film The Ape (2009) was selected for Toronto International Film Festival, and his next film Blondie (2012) was screened at Venice Days. His fifth feature, Jimmie (2018), starring his son Hunter, opened this year's Rotterdam International Film Festival. His latest film is Beast of Burden (2018), a thriller starring Daniel Radcliffe.
