Overview

How does it feel to not have a roof over your head? The changing of the seasons and Helsinki’s familiar streets can look very different coloured by a constant worry over your future, fate, and survival. Street writer Janne gives a diary-like account of his experiences, some of them dark and even brutal. The images captured on 16mm film by director Antti Lempiäinen make the experience palpable. And yet, there is a comforting and hopeful undertone to the film: a better life is possible.
