The House
Näsänen Elena, KENNO FILMI OSK
A poetic film about memories, letting go, destruction, and hope. A home, an abandoned house with its belongings, and an old forest serve as the backdrop for a woman's poetic monologue, where personal and universal memories intertwine with the echoes of war and environmental destruction.
