About This Movie

Det är din boll, Jim is a quietly profound piece, capturing the life of Jim Jansson, a woodcarver adjusting to retirement. The pacing allows for reflection, with long, thoughtful scenes that let the viewer soak in the atmosphere of his small-town life. There's a raw honesty in the performances, especially in how Jim navigates his new reality. The film explores themes of identity and purpose, using simple yet effective practical effects to evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy.
