Kun saksofoni palaa

In Petri Luukkainen’s combination of music documentary and personal portrait, we get to know the mental landscape of saxophonist Timo Lassy, who has long been one of the foremost names in Finnish jazz. “What makes me happy as a person and an artist?” asks Lassy, who is struggling with aging and life changes and has realized that he cannot continue living as before.
