has signed on to handle international sales for the upcoming Finnish feature “Light Light Light.”
Currently in post-production, the story is set in the spring of 1986, when there is an explosion in Chernobyl. A girl called Mimi arrives in a small village in western Finland. She immediately fills 15-year-old Mariia’s life with light. 20-years-later, Mariia returns home to take care of her sick mother, and memories of that meaningful summer start rising to the surface.
He added: “Huotarinen really captured the paradox of teenage years, when you’re already dealing with serious adult stuff like romantic love, sex and the cruel unfairness of life, but still don’t have the power over your own life and choices. You’re still dependent on someone else’s goodwill, and as it turns out, that’s something Mimi hasn’t had for a long time.
