"The aim was to tell a story about what happened before the events in the film, which revolve around a former Yugoslavian family that came to Sweden in 1960’s. The film follows their lives through the 1980’s and 1990’s.

We first made the character designs, storyboards and animatic and presented it to director Miko Lazic and he gave us a free hand, which is something of a dream for a designer. We then came up with the concept of moving through time using three color schemes and also a year-counter in the upper right corner [as] the movie itself jumps back and forth in time. The sequence illustrates character history and introduces the story that follows."
