Selected as Sweden’s entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, THE LAST JOURNEY is the most-watched documentary in Swedish history.

When Lars Hammar retires after 40 years as a beloved French teacher in Köping, he envisions a delightful “third age” with travel, wine, and experiences together with his wife Tiina. But it doesn’t turn out as he had hoped. That’s when Filip gets an idea – to take his frail Francophile father on a road trip to France to revisit the places he loved most in life. By retracing the same journey the family used to take when Filip was a child and secretly orchestrating some of life’s most delightful moments, he hopes to reignite Lars’ zest for life. With the help of his best friend Fredrik, some hefty doses of optimism and creativity, and an old orange Renault 4, the trio embark on an unforgettable adventure.
