Portrait of a Confused Father

A Storyville documentary, filmed over more than 20 years, which charts an extraordinary father鈥搒on relationship that takes an unexpected and tragic turn.

Filmed over more than 20 years, this deeply personal documentary charts an extraordinary father鈥搒on relationship that takes an unexpected and tragic turn.

Norwegian film-maker Gunnar Hall Jensen has spent decades documenting his son Jonathan鈥檚 journey from childhood ambition to adulthood, capturing his confidence and desire to conquer the world. As Jonathan grows older, however, the emotional distance between them widens.

Gunnar does what he knows best to remain close: he films, talks and tries to understand. When Jonathan becomes drawn into the seductive promises of social media influence, easy success and hypermasculine ideals, the consequences are profound. The result is an intimate self-portrait of a father grappling with love, loss and the limits of understanding.
