A middle-aged lady on a holiday in the sun tries to make new friends and have a good time.\u00a0The lady is played by the lovely Helmi, the\u00a0director\u2019s\u00a01-year-old daughter, and her new \u201cfriends\u201d are all puppets made by her father\u00a0and his creative team during his 6-month of\u00a0father\u2019s leave. A sensational hit\u00a0at the Cannes 2011 (best short film award), Sundance Film Festival 2012, and\u00a0the winner of\u00a0numerous audience awards at the international film festivals.<\/em><\/p>\n

Johannes Nyholm, the director of “Las Palmas”, describes the process of making it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I was on father’s leave, and planned to make an unpretentious documentary of my little daughter, Helmi. I was fascinated by her energy – could sit there, speechless, just watching her. The film should be shot in just one day, showing her eating, sleeping, moving around. Then the project grew…<\/p>\n

Las Palmas was shot during half a year in my small studio in Gothenburg, Sweden. We built puppets, created small scale sets and ordered miniature beer bottles from Peru on Ebay. Most important during the shoot was to have fun and do stuff that Helmi enjoyed. The set was built like a playground, using soft material and cushions, so she could move around freely. It should not feel like going to work. We shot for 1-2 hours a week. With no strict script to follow, the story developed from Helmis sudden whims. You could say that I directed by not directing. The shooting had to take its time. And the appearance of the protagonist reflects this. She crawls into the film in the intro, and then she walks out of it. In the initial scenes she has hardly any teeth, in the end plenty. She grew out of her wardrobe and the miniature bottles gradually shrunk in her firm grip.<\/p>\n

You can see Helmi, sleep, laugh, cry. And she is so cute and beautiful and bursting with energy. I still see the film as a kind of documentary portraying her second year and her first trembling steps in life.<\/p>\n
