“A journey through time and space worth taking.”
—Film Inquiry
“With more than a soupçon of Antonioni, Godard, and Hitchcock, Risto Jarva imagines a classless, techno-fetishistic society.”
—MOMA
In the year 2011, a historian of late 20th-century culture obsessed with the death of an Edie Sedgwick-like pixie hires the model’s exact double — an earthy, uninhibited engineer named Kisse (actress Ritva Vepsä plays both parts) — to recreate her death for a TV program. A pop-art, Marxist retro-future (quickly approaching reality) from Finland’s Risto Jarva.
