Equal Dust
Elämä ja yö
Synopsis
NATO’s nuclear exercise, a 12-minute uninterrupted tracking shot, and the Finnish Eurovision Song Contest entries collide in the night of Helsinki in November 1983. The film presents various apocalyptic scenarios, and based on them, presents an alternative storyline from the perspective of the scenarios' targets, on a real scale, on the streets of nocturnal Helsinki. The difference between imaginary and real nuclear war is revealed to be frighteningly fragile.
