Movie night in amphi at 4 p.m.: The happiest day in the life of Olli Mäki
We will be screening The Happiest day in the life of Olli Mäki. After the movie, you’re welcome to join a relaxed discussion session where you can share your thoughts about the film – or simply listen. (What does the film tell us about Finnish culture and society? How do themes like silence, emotions, family and loneliness relate to your own life? What insights did you gain about Finland or Finnishness?) Mentors will also be present to join the conversation.
