What if the adult had to be saved by the kid? Chaos.
A Swedish independent comedy about power. The 25-year-old idealist ANTON is First AD (First Assistant Director) on a feature film shooting. 10-year-old lead character KLARA has a strong fairness pathos and she and Anton become friends during filming. Anton's role as leader of the shooting is torpedoed from all sides and he gets more and more broken down by the job - and one day he just snaps! Klara sees what happens and is forced to use the great power she actually has, to really make a change.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Erland Beskow's thesis film for the Swedish School of Advertising — he literally made a short about short filmmaking.
The 'fairness pathos' (rättvisepatos) is distinctly Swedish — a cultural obsession with equity that kids absorb early.
