Sensitive drama exploring the ups and downs of a polyamorous relationship that develops after a woman discovers her minister husband has been having an affair for more than a year.
When politician Juulia (Alma Pöysti, Tove, Fallen Leaves) finds out that her minister husband Matias (Eero Milonof, Border) has been having an 18-month affair, instead of angrily demanding a divorce, she suggests they give polyamory a go using a book as a manual. Soon Matias’ lover Enni (Oona Airola) is part of their lives and things become more emotionally complex when Juulia takes on a non-binary partner, Miska (Pietu Wikström). Finnish writer-director Selma Vilhunen sensitively explores issues including gender, prejudice and bucking the trend of perceived ‘normality’ without sensationalising the subject. Her elegant drama is a humanistic and compassionate treat.
Finnish with English subtitles.
