  • Taivas (2021)

    Two brothers sharing a home must finally decide what to do with their lives. One pursues his dream of becoming a musician, while the other turns to selling weed. "Taivas" is a unique story about aspirations, setbacks, and the journey of growing up, even when it feels like it's too late. With its compelling visual style and rich worldbuilding, “Taivas” tells the stories of individuals whose voices are rarely heard elsewhere.

  • Roi (2023)

    Recovering from a severe injury, Roi (Mikko Laukkanen) is wasting away in his apartment. The daily assistance of his friends and food delivery services have driven him to completely abandon the idea of stepping outside. When Roi runs out of both food and helping hands, he is finally forced to face the fears that await outside his door.
