Synopsis:

Comments:
Lucas-Jury, Frankfurt 2007:
The Swedish-Norwegian-German Co-Production Hoppet tells the story of the brothers Azad and Tigris who were send by their parents to a country which promises both peace and freedom. Azad loves jumping, and particularly high. In this way he overcomes boundaries, helping in the end to bring together his family under a new constellation.
The film by Petter Naess stands out in high degree due to its humorous dialogues and authentic characters. Moreover, the children act independently and courageously. The deeply felt bond between the two brothers and their unconditional belief in each other are touching. Here, a current and serious issue is authentically told with sympathetic effortlessness. A deeply moving film.
FICC-Jury Frankfurt 2007:
The film we all loved most, is a universal story about a young boy and his desire to fly. The film succeeds in bringing serious and current themes, in this refugees´ story, in such a way that children are emotionally involved, excited and amazed.
It promotes important values like solidarity, self confidence and the courage to pursue one´s beliefs. Throughout the entire film, we are amazed at the young boy´s presence on camera, giving refugees a real face.
Statement of the Jury at the Nordic Film Days in Luebeck 2007:
In a very impressive manner “Leaps & Bounds” tells the story of the Kurdish boy Azad, who takes responsibility for his traumatised older brother Tigris without forgetting how to dream in the face of harsh Swedish reality. The powerful performance of the main actor provides a powerful base for the film. Embedded in an extraordinary, very harmonious ensemble, the viewer joins 12-year old Azad in delving into the strange new world of Stockholm. This is not only well directed but also impressively filmed. “Leaps & Bounds” touchingly tells of the need to keep faith in oneself and that it is worthwile to fight for one's own dreams.
