Cinema deluxe when an two siblings take a Finland ferry to repair their relationship in a Kaurismäki-esque road movie and one of the more visionary contributions to Swedish cinema in a long time.

Siblings Enzo and Magda have drifted apart, and in an attempt to reconnect, Magda invites her brother on a trip to Helsinki. Over a weekend, the sibling duo encounters a series of eccentric characters and confronts situations that necessitate conversations about life, art and existence. Memories blend with the present, and dreams and reality merge for the two travelers adrift in the atmospheric city of Helsinki. Kim Ekberg and Sawandi Groskind's feverish road trip is a long-awaited visionary injection into Swedish cinema, offering a visually striking gem that captivates with its humor and attention to detail.

Enjoy it on crisp 35mm at the premiere on January 27th and the second screening on January 28th.

Please note that the film contains strobe light effects.
