The Sky is Red and White
Lecklin Johanna
The film addresses the mystery of the filmmaker's female relative, who was killed in the Finnish Civil War in 1918 in Vyborg. Was the distant relative the leader of the female Red Guard? Can you trust archives when trying to find information about a relative who has passed a long time ago?
The film explores ways of remembering the past and the ethical concerns associated with filmmaking that witnesses another person's life. Staged scenes and archival material alternate througout the film, shedding light on the situation of women and children during the Civil War.
