VOLCANO is a love story about dealing with the choices of the past and the difficulties of the present in order to embrace the future

An old-fashioned man who cannot express his love, is someone most of us, if not all, know. VOLCANO is more than a coming of age story of a 67-year-old man, who cannot show his emotions. VOLCANO is also a story about a family and how three generations deal with their past, present and future. Love story: All of the main characters in the film have some flaws, no one is perfect. People who love, suffer, get by. Blindly they try to find an outlet for their emotions, their love, The path can be rocky when you have armoured your heart with distance, silence, anger... The visual and audio storytelling are important tools to show emotions and the narrative has certain real feeling and approach, but the simplicity of the sound and visual design I feel gives the film a certain poesy, Andreas Dresden's respect for his characters and the portrayal of them in WOLKE 9, Bergmann's inner drama, the mise-en-scène of Lynn Ramsey’s short films and her film RATCATCHER, the visual outcome of the pairing of Slawomir Idziak and Kieslowski as well as Tarkovsky's works and ideas about time, have all had an influence on me for the last few years which I have put into my cocktail mixer and worked from when I have been doing my short films. I have the good fortune to have good people around me that share, understand and help my vision, each time, to become a reality. And together we have been developing our common filmic language.
