Aune, or On Effective Demise
Timonen Maija
Aune is confined to her bed, living under the threat of amputation. She dreams of a park both sensing the future and its absence. Her body acquires significance as a cipher of a larger process of dismemberment. A love story turns into a film about sex, death and the economy.
