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. DIRECTOR BIO Karin Ekberg was born in 1979 in Stockholm. She studied at the Dutch art academy AKI where she received a degree in photography in 2003. She also has a master’s in journalism from JMK at Stockholm University. Karin has since worked in the media industry as a journalist, project manager and communicator. During a course in documentary filmmaking at Birkagården (2009/2010) Karin started working on her debut feature film A Separation. It was further developed during the workshop Twelve For the Future, and the graduate course Documentary Film Dramaturgy at the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts. The film has been selected for the official program at CPH:DOX 2013, and will have its Swedish premi-ere during the autumn 2013. Presently Karin attends the second year of a 2-year master program at the Valand Academy Film in Gothenburg. She is also developing her next documentary An Angel in the Family (working title). DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT It was a combination of the gaping holes in the walls after hastily removed pictures, the ridiculous bick-ering about family heirlooms and the extremely uncomfortable way mum and dad skirted around each other that sparked my impulse to start filming. I wanted to capture the practical and emotional events and also the passage towards an uncertain future. Later, the focus shifted to what actually makes us stay and what happens when we dare to let go.
