Fucking unfair
Lassila Nina
The piece starts with an image of a castle in ruins. Then we see a woman dressed up as a queen of some sort digging a hole in a garden. In the background we hear birds chirping and church bells tolling. We also hear a female voice-over comparing her life to the life of another woman - supposedly the woman in the garden.
