KESKEN / AMIDST, 2024

LOGLINE The dinner of seven is no picnic.

ONE LINER IN ENGLISH Everything is perfect, and then, boom.

FILM SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH Middle-aged friends having dinner: Amidst friends there are things you can talk about and things you can not. And still you do.
In this dip into the deep end of middle age, everything is unfinished: people and their comprehension, their relationships and processes, even their jokes.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT IN ENGLISH
This is a story I can relate to. When the script writer Suna Vuori suggested this idea,
I said immediately yes.
In my view,
relationships never get easier,
so this film is about the only permanent variable in relationships, and that is change .
