Oskar Jonasson is an Icelandic film director and screenwriter. His debut feature REMOTE CONTROL (1993) was selected for Un Certain Regard at Cannes. He later directed the award-winning REYKJAVÍK ROTTERDAM (2008), which was remade into the US film CONTRABAND (2012). In 2011, Jonasson co-directed the animation THOR which was widely successful internationally and remains one of the highest budget films made in Iceland to date.

The story’s simplicity and its humour were the prime elements that fascinated me when I saw the play a few years ago. The story deals with very sensitive issues such as addiction, lack of self-control and compulsion in a unique and fresh way. It is remarkably decisive and articulate in its approach to these matters. It was a two-person play, but we have added various characters to the screenplay. The story is filled with warmth and humour. Both Kristjan and I find it important to stay faithful to the story’s finer points and we don’t want to make it too complicated, or create emotional ‘fireworks’. 
I envision this film as the realistic, but colourful and bittersweet story of two young people dealing with a rather unusual problem. That said, it’s one that we have all encountered before. Who hasn’t felt shy and had a hard time approaching a person they find attractive?
