The
Living Room of the Nation
Directed by Jukka Kärkkäinen
74 min - 2009 - Finalnd - Finnish w/ subtitles -
Color
The Living Room of
the Nation opens a poetic, portrait-like view
into six Finnish living rooms. The film is a story
of changes, loneliness, responsibilities and the
unavoidable passing of time.
The main characters are
common Finnish people in different phases of life.
Each of them is looking for something: human closeness,
understanding or acceptance. The scale of events
varies, but even as small and familiar they position
the characters into dramatic situations. These individual
everyday experiences converge into a sensitive and
momentarily surreal story of human life.
