导演阐述
墙上照片匆匆被揭走之后露出的原本就裂开的洞，关于传家宝荒谬的争吵，还有父母之间冷暴力对自己心灵的打击，种种因素的混合，促使我拍摄这部影片。我最初仅仅时想尽力去捕捉那些打动人内心的瞬间，以及未来的不确定性给父母带来的种种惶恐。但是在拍摄过程中，我渐渐改变了我最初想表达的东西。一直在思考，到底是什么让我们最初走到一起，又是因为什么我们最终选择放弃。
They have been married for 38 years. Over the past 15 years they have been sleeping in separate bedrooms. Now, one of them wants a divorce. The villa is already on sale.
Is it ok to throw away the old wedding dress? What do you do with the crystal glasses that nobody wants?
In her debut documentary, Karin Ekberg follows her parents with the camera during a year of their lives. A year that nothing is the same.
We meet them for the first time in what was once their shared home. Things need to be divided. The rooms are desolate, occasional furniture here and there. The mother has already moved and now it's just the last things to sort out. "Do you want this or not? You've never liked it! "It's nervy, loaded. The father carries out stuff to car, and he stops for a bit and wants to remember, in search for feelings that once existed.
The mother is impatient to get going. She doesn’t want to remember.
What happens between two people who get divorced? Who perhaps should have been divorced long time ago. A Separation is a tragicomedy that portrays the very last acts of a long marriage. A film about the tentative search for a beginning in what- at last, and unfortunately - is over.
