HHM Jury Nominations: Best Cinematography, Supporting Actor (Mika Melender)
On holiday from university, Leevi returns to his family’s summer cottage in Finland to help his estranged and bitter father with renovations. When the father is called back to the city for business, Leevi is left alone with Tareq, a Syrian refugee, hired by his father to help out.
