Orenda

Finland

Master director Pirjo Honkasalo (Concrete Night, The 3 Rooms of Melancholia) makes a stunning return with her new film Orenda. Two strong-willed women (Alma Pöysti and Pirkko Saisio) meet in the magical landscape of an archipelago. They are both tormented by guilt over a deceased man whose memory binds them together. What do the restless opera singer and the temperamental priest seek from each other? Pushing the boundaries of everyday reality, Orenda is a fluid tale of grace and austerity.
