Movie

Petrified

Hymytyttö

In this wordless short documentary by Minna Parkkinen, beautiful wintry pictures hide a dark story about past traumas and sexual violence against children. The trophy given to the most well-behaved kids in the class becomes a symbol of something sinister. Emotions that are difficult to put into words are instead presented through a hummed melody while snow and ice make way for flowing water.
