A Moment in the Reeds – Premiere!

Leevi returns to his rural home for the summer. After spending time at a lively Parisian university campus, the emptiness of the Finnish country side leaves him feeling dispirited. He spends his days helping his father renovate their old house, and Tareq, a young Syrian immigrant, is hired to help. As the moments and days pass, a deep connection is forged between the two young men and they unite in body and soul. Leevi’s father conservatism will put the new relationship to a test. A beautiful independent film made with a very small budget, which reveals the splendid Finnish landscape and boasts the courageous devotion of the actors to their challenging roles.
In association with Herzliya Cinematheque and the embassies of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
