2020 Solitary Dance

Solitary Dance

Director: Antti Lempiäinen
Producer: Ella Ruohonen / Superreel Productions Oy

Solitary dance pays attention to those left alone. Emmamaria tries to cope on her own with two children. Emilia, a young woman, spends her time driving around the streets of a small Finnish town. Lasse, 80, divorced his wife after 62 years and now lives alone, spending his days playing cards and his nights writing poems. They all face obstacles trying to get away from the situation. However, through dance, poetry, sheer coincidence and persistence, their stories develop further from loneliness.
