You Go Where You’re Sent
Horelli Laura
The starting point of You Go Where You’re Sent is the director’s grandmother’s participation in the Berlin Olympics in 1936 as a member of the Finnish women’s gymnastic team. The conversation is based on her photo albums. After the war, the grandmother served her nation as a diplomat's wife. She tried to achieve a balance between her different obligations: shile she prioritised her duties as a spouse, she practiced her profession as a physician whenever she could.
