“How many people from Rauma have made a record that will one day be sent into space?”
Pauli (Samuel Kujala), a classical flutist, returns to his small Finnish hometown to recover after a breakdown. Unable to play, he feels like a failure. Pauli runs into Iiris (Anna Rosaliina Kauno), who makes experimental music by herself. Iiris starts persuading him to try and make some music together, and she’s convinced that by joining forces, they’d be able to create something completely new and unique. Pauli, who has always sought perfection, is drawn to her chaotic energy and finds comfort in their sonic experiments.
The film won a total of seven Jussi Awards, including in the categories of Film of the Year, Best Director and Best Screenplay (Lauri-Matti Parppei), Lead Actor of the Year (Samuel Kujala) and Breakthrough Performance of the Year (Anna Rosaliina Kauno).
