Director’s statement

“Line Knutzon and Peter Frödin with their story about Little Allan have created a unique pearl that touches the heart with its humor and absurdity. Little Allan is an anxious little boy who feels safest in an environment that is familiar and predictable to him, which is something that resonates deeply with me. I would like to create an equally caring and humorous portrait of a young boy whose entire foundation crumbles when his parents are getting divorced. “LITTLE ALLAN - THE HUMAN ANTENNA is a story about how to cope with such an enormous change and a story about a different friendship that happens just when it is needed the most: when you’ve been removed from your roots, you miss your mom and your whole world has been turned upside down. It is a story about having the courage to express how you feel, because honesty will always get you farther in life.”
