Event Description
This visually stunning film (and Finland's official entry for the Oscars) is set during the summertime in a stifling Helsinki slum, where 14-year-old Simo lives with an older brother who is about to go off to jail. Simo soaks in all of his older brother's mostly bad advice on how to survive. A powerful and poetic work, it's been called “Finnish film noir” with its stylized black-and-white images, moody atmosphere, and industrial soundscape. Ultimately, it's a touching, cautionary tale with wonderful performances that will haunt you.
