About the Film

This is honestly one of the best films I have ever watched! I cried, I laughed, I reflected on my relationship with my own parents, I was in awe of the characters, the scenery and the story. I just had to share it with everyone!

THE LAST JOURNEY follows Filip Hammar’s father Lars, who is retiring after 40 years as a beloved French teacher in Koping, Sweden.

But instead of a “third age” with travel, wine, and experiences together with his wife, he becomes passive and tired.

Filip and his best friend Fredrik, take Lars to his beloved France and let him revisit the places he loves.

By making the same road trip that the family used to make when Filip was a child and staging some of his father’s fondest memories (often with hilarious consequences), they hope to rekindle Lars’ spark.
