Theme

The main theme of our film is the portrayal of the relationship between the kidnapper and Julek. By having this as the central theme as it drives the film away from a generic crime/psy thrillers such as 'Taken' or ''Man on Fire'. When we started to elaborate our idea of the relationship we gathered information on Stockholm Syndrome (see other post). Through this information we could make the relationship between Julek and the kidnapper more realistic, which was key to creating a film with strong narrative, verisimilitude and emotions.
