his is a film about my father, a bank robber and magician, and about how I got to know him ‘backwards’.

I've never met my father. I heard that he was a handsome man with a red beard and that he had a big ship tattooed on his chest. One day I heard he died. He committed suicide after 14 years spent in prison. This is a film about my father, a bank robber and magician, and about how I got to know him ‘backwards’.

Lea Glob

Lea Glob (1982) graduated as a director from the National Film School of Denmark in 2011. She co-directed Olmo & The Seagull with Petra Costa in 2014. In 2016 she co-directed the feature documentary Venus together with Mette Carla Albrechtsen about sexuality from a female perspective, which became a moment to share thoughts on sexuality and identity, in an attempt to formulate a language and reclaim the female body. All along those years Glob followed the story of Apolonia Sokol, creating a sort of double-sided portrait of the artist as a young woman. Apolonia, Apolonia is her first documentary feature as a solo director.
