Ingen ska skada dig, inte ens jag (Blu-ray)

Jonathan, 22, is an introverted guy who lives with his little sister Rebecca, 17. After the untimely death of their parents, Jonathan becomes afraid that Rebecca will come to harm and therefore becomes very overprotective. His repressed emotions make him increasingly paranoid, and he finds it harder and harder to distinguish between what is real and what is not. This makes him cling to Rebecca even more, but the more he tries to protect her, the more she slips through his fingers.

In the fall of 2014, Elijah Debot began working on the idea for the film. In May 2015, during pre-production and casting, he met Ebba Lindgren, who took on the role of "Rebecca" and became his collaborator behind the camera. They finished writing the script and planned the shoot together. During the summer of 2015, the film was shot over a period of more than 20 days, and the material was supplemented during the fall. Elijah Debot himself edited a first version of 72 minutes. Between the fall of 2016 and the spring of 2017, the film was re-edited by established film editor Leo Ghysels into a finished 50-minute short film in May 2017.
