Time Quartet: In The Storm of Roses

Original title: Ajakvartett: Rooside rajus

2022 | Experimental, Other categories | Director:

The nurse looks after the roses; the grandchild teaches Granny TikTok; ancient Romans walk around in the garden to the sounds of a saxophone. Countries, roads and people branch out in branching times.

The short film is an attempt to visually reflect our time through a specific person, a retired nurse Helgi Kuusik. We see her in her Haanjamaa farm and in her rose garden, which she established years ago while working in Helsinki hospitals and commuting between Estonia and Finland. The brief scenes in an idyllic rural location, staged in the manner of Victorian era paintings, are linked with more realistic shots about Helgi's trip to East-Helsinki to visit her daughter's family.
