Wednesday 18 January, 2017
Chaotic family circumstances lead to 17-year-old Raya and her unruly little brother being shipped off to their grandmother in the countryside. At school, an English-language competition presents the chance of broadening horizons, but life, love and mortality intervene to see Raya growing up even more quickly than she’d bargained for. This unsentimental coming-of-age tale showcases the compelling acting talent of newcomer Elina Vaska.

Self-help guru Gunnar and his wife Lisa are unhappily married with an adult son, Davio, who is their only sunshine. When Davio returns from a trip through Europe, he introduces his new girlfriend Sunna to his frayed parents.
