Orenda (Finnish with English subtitles)

In the comeback film of Pirjo Honkasalo—one of Finland’s most internationally acclaimed directors (Betoniyö, Melancholian 3 huonetta)—guilt over a lost man intertwines the lives of an opera singer and a priest (played by Alma Pöysti and Pirkko Saisio). Orenda, written by Pirkko Saisio, flows beyond the boundaries of everyday reality and is set in a breathtaking archipelago where the women seek grace for the memories that suffocate their minds.
