Flashback
The basis of this film was a 1978 short, Ten Minutes Older, directed by Frank Herz, in which, for 10 minutes, he filmed the face of a little boy sitting in the third row of a puppet show. In the dim light of the theater, he tried to sound the depths of the human soul as revealed on this child’s face. In 1999, he tracked down the boy to see how he had evolved with the contact with real life - the world of reality and not that of marvelous tales and Good vs. Evil. This is how he came to make his new film, Twenty Years Older, without considering the inverse reaction it would have on him. He never could bear the notion that man could only achieve self-knowledge when faced with mortality, and here he was confronted with death. He had lost his wife to a fatal illness and he himself had to undergo heart surgery. He wanted to drop everything. But the challenge of doing a new film got the better of him.
