Director Statement

This short documentary was made for a short film competition in Bergen, which was part of the BergenSer festival.

The theme for the competition was "luck".
I spent some time thinking about what I should create around that theme.
Then, during the Christmas holidays, my grandfather told me a story about how he and his mother once escaped a fire in her apartment.
To me, that was the definition of "luck" - The kind where you either live or you die.

I recorded my grandfather telling the story with a microphone.
From there, I wanted to create subtle, point of view visuals for the audience.
It wasn't about recreating the entire event, but about allowing the viewer to watch while imagining what it might have felt like.

It was important to me that the short film felt like a distant memory - something from a long time ago that was never forgotten.
