SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH * This film is about the home of the soul and the passing of time.

But it’s never too late and eventually they find strength in their memories, in order to fix things.

AA: Animation, stylized, with affinities in line drawing with the Estonian school of Priit Pärn. The persistence of memory. Interesting aspect: soft definition photographs, real faces replaced with animation faces without features. Enigmatic, haunting.

An immigrant and his companion guide Wizard saying ·“Hello” to new unknown lands.
ONE LINER IN FINNISH *
Maahanmuuttaja ja hänen oppaansa, velho, sanovat "Hei" uusille, tuntemattomille maille.

In this experimental film that recreates old fantasy video games through irony, the characters face strange situations and places that allude to the absurd nature of the immigrant's journey: its ideas of achievement, monotony, and expectation.
SYNOPSIS IN FINNISH *
Tässä kokeellisessa elokuvassa, joka luo uudelleen vanhoja fantasiapelejä ironian keinoin, hahmot kohtaavat outoja tilanteita ja paikkoja, jotka viittaavat maahanmuuttajan matkan absurdiin luonteeseen: sen saavutuksiin, monotoniaan ja odotuksiin liittyviin ajatuksiin.
AA: A flight of fancy taking us into a higher perspective on a crash course with a hot air balloon Saddam Hussein figuew in the spirit of the classic Peruvian composition El cóndor pasa (trad. origin, comp. Daniel Alomía Robles 1913). Retro scifi fun with retro video graphics and minimalist old analog computer animation. Dancing giant hot air balloon figures occupy Helsinki. The title is a wordplay on the English lyrics to El cóndor pasa by Paul Simon ("I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail").

ONE LINER IN FINNISH * Oudon hajun levitessä taloyhtiössä, vastikään eronnut Anna joutuu kohtaamaan äitiyden rajallisuuden ja sen kohtalokkaat seuraukset.
SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH * Mother of the Year is a short psychological thriller about ANNA (30) who has just moved to a new apartment that smells like dead rats. She is starting a new life, which includes joint custody with her ex and a mother who doubts Anna’s abilities to raise her 2-year-old. Anna is fed up with people intervening with her parenting but still finds herself judging another mother - her neighbor JANNI (35) who she sees smoking while pregnant. When Anna learns that Janni is actually not expecting a child, although she looks like it, she has to face her own hypocrisy. Meanwhile the rotten scent intensifies and leads Anna to its origins - Janni’s apartment. Anna has another lesson to learn as she finds a dead infant in the apartment and is forced to admit that sometimes intervening in other people’s business has its place.
SYNOPSIS IN FINNISH * Tuu tuu tupakkarulla on lyhyt psykologinen trilleri Annasta (30), joka on juuri muuttanut uuteen, toisinaan kuolleilta rotilta haisevaan asuntoon. Anna on aloittelemassa uutta elämää, johon kuuluu yhteishuoltajuus exän kanssa ja äiti, joka epäilee Annan kykyä selvitä äitiyden haasteista. Anna on kyllästynyt siihen, että muut puuttuvat hänen vanhemmuuteensa, mutta huomaa silti itse arvostelevansa toista äitiä – naapuriaan Jannia (35), jonka näkee polttavan tupakkaa raskaana ollessaan. Kun Anna saa tietää, ettei Janni odotakaan lasta, hänen on kohdattava oma tekopyhyytensä. Samaan aikaan mädän haju voimistuu ja johdattaa Annan Jannin asuntoon. Siellä Anna saa vielä yhden opetuksen: joskus toisten asioihin puuttuminen on perusteltua.

SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH *
Ossi is on a date he has been looking forward to. He wants to be the best version of himself, and sso he relies on technology to make that happen.
SYNOPSIS IN FINNISH *
Ossi on jo pitkään odottamillaan treffeillä ja haluaa olla paras versio itsestään. Hän turvautuu siksi teknologiaan huonoin lopputuloksin.
AA: A comedy of embarrassment about a long awaited date, evoking a bit Jerry Lewis, bold in its handling of awkwardness. The use of a mobile phone app during the date only makes the situation even more impossible. Like in Jerry Lewis classics, from comedy to horror is just one step. From these premises, a really far out performance could be imagined.
