Att skiljasAbschied / A Separation

Competition Documentaries, Sweden 2013, 72 Min.

The director’s parents were married for 38 years. Now, after 15 years in separate bedrooms and without kisses, her mother wants a divorce. She’s already moved into a new flat, the couple’s large villa is for sale. Over one year, Karin Ekberg watched her mother and father taking leave of their shared life through the lens of her camera. Their means of dealing with the separation are quite different, and many of the challenges are logistical. The remaining furniture needs to be divided and no one wants the crystal glasses. Is it OK to just throw your old wedding dress in the bin? Her father wants to remember, her mother wants to turn over a new leaf as quickly as possible. Tragic and comic situations follow in quick succession while old family films show a long-gone happy relationship.
