Synopsis: The 15-minute film FINN is about an 18-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with a serious illness. Finn has trouble accepting this, he thinks he is too young for this. In the film, help comes from an unexpected quarter. Will Finn be able to accept his illness or will his illness take the upper hand?
The path of being ill, the struggle to accept it and the battle he enters into with his illness is told visually. There is a lot going on in Finn’s head and through trippy images and experiences the viewer sometimes has to look twice before they realize what is real and what is not. It will not be a sad story, but a story from which you can draw strength.
Filmmaker’s note: ”This film is very close to me because I experienced a similar situation myself. Two years ago I got the news that I had cancer. Fortunately, after a heavy treatment, I am completely healed. At the time I also had trouble accepting my illness, why is this happening to me? How do I get out of here? I have always held hope in these times. That is something that comes back strongly in the film.
When I was in the hospital, my thoughts were everywhere except the hospital itself. My thoughts travelled to a lake, a field and beautiful wooded places. This is something that got me through it and comes back in the movie.
With the film I want to appeal to people and give them hope. Giving hope to people who are in a situation that seems so hopeless that even in moments like this you should not give up hope. I think people in a similar or a completely different situation can relate to this.”
