Rondo
Viitahuhta Marja
Rondo is an experimental short and silent film with a woman, a man, a house on the beach and an uncovered illusion. Shot originally on 8mm film, containing no dialogue and based on a circular structure, the film is a poetic description of the state of mind of a person in between events, experiencing change. The music of the film plays an important role, approaching the content of the film hand in hand with the cinematography.
