Fasisti / The Fascist

Tampere Film Festival. National Competition 9
In Finnish with English subtitles.

FASISTI
THE FASCIST

Finland 2013
Fiction | 5 min

Director: Taneli Mustonen
    
Pysäköinninvalvoja ajautuu yllättävään väittelyyn tavallista peräänantamattomamman sakotettavan kanssa. Arkinen konflikti laajenee filosofisiin sfääreihin, kun ”tunkkainen humanistiprofessori” alkaa sivistää pysäköinninvalvojaa – joka ei tosiaankaan aio jäädä toiseksi.
    
A traffic warden runs into a surprising argument with a persisting customer. What begins as a trivial everyday argument broadens. The customer, a professor, starts to educate the traffic warden, who offers a good resistance
.

AA: A joke. The strident debate between the traffic warden and the professor about the definition of Fascism. She keeps piling a fine after a fine for the car, but in the final twist we realize the car is not at all his. Sanna-Kaisa Palo and Vesa Vierikko, with Liisi Tandefelt. Closing tune: Ray Davies: "Broadway Follies".
