To exorcise the cancer that is eating him up, Antti Peippo goes to the roots of his sickness. As in a liberating therapy, he is guided by all the images that evoke his family-portraits, old photographs, children’s drawings. They make him understand the ineffaceable traumas of his childhood, marked for ever by war, deaths and a dominating mother. This agonising quest crystallised in a heartrendingly beautiful film, is Antti Peippo’s testament.
