Et lite stykke Finland
Et lite stykke Finland — Finnish documentary
In the Finnish countryside, Tero, Henri and their dog Juri live together in a small house. Tero has been a single father to Henri for much of his life and has taught his son what he knows best, such as shooting a shotgun and repairing cars. Despite Tero’s somewhat unusual parenting methods and, at times, heavy drinking, father and son share a strong bond and unconditional love for one another. When teenage Henri gets a girlfriend and wants more privacy, Tero develops severe separation anxiety and fears losing his son and his purpose in life.
“Et lite stykke Finland” is a wry, warm and moving documentary about the importance of family, companionship and love. The film is directed by Jukka Kärkkäinen, who has followed Tero and Henri over several years. He has previously made award-winning films such as “The Living Room of the Nation” and “The Punk Syndrome”.
