19.00 Frozen City / Valkoinen kaupunki
Based on the fate of one of the principal characters in Fragments (Irtiottoja), the taxi driver Veli-Matti. Abandoned by his wife, the man who has lost his family is convicted of manslaughter – an act of violence which, hopelessly drunk at the time, he can not remember committing. The role of Veli-Matti is brilliantly played by Janne Virtanen. The storyline explores Veli-Matti´s tragedy in great and moving depth and makes very real the rawest and most painful themes of a human life.
