CAN YOU SEE ME

Driven by an insatiable thirst for answers and the unraveling of secrets long buried, Isac embarks on a journey alongside his father, Helgi, the filmmaker. What begins as a search for truth transforms into an odyssey of the soul, where each step forward is a step inward, delving into the depths of their shared and separate histories. The tale unfolds through two lenses—Isac’s eyes, hungry for understanding, and Helgi’s, weathered by time and memory. Their bond, both fragile and unbreakable, becomes a central thread in this tapestry of discovery.

Directors note:

“Adopting a child reshaped the contours of my life, filling it with joys and challenges that I had never imagined. Through this film, I sought to capture the essence of that journey, to reflect the emotions, the struggles, and the profound transformations that adoption brings. It is a story of love, loss, and the search for belonging—told not just in words, but in the silent spaces between them.” – Helgi Felixson
