A feature film "O" is based on finnish author Miki Liukkonen's (b. 1989) novel.

"O" challenges realism by taking the spectator to the other side of the imagination and truth.

 

The world is a multidimensional reality, cubist, where mysterious and inexplicable interrupt familiar everyday life by moving from poetic sentimentality to lecherousness, from serious to comical.

 

The film is intelligent and mesmerizing by its' visual style containing powerful emotions. 

 

 

 

“Miki Liukkonen has written one of the most important Finnish fiction books of this decade.”

“Miki Liukkonen’s novel O is a towering synthesis of our fragmented era. The characters tries to see if curling up in one’s neuroses is of any help when reality does not otherwise seem to stay put within any sensible framework. Excessive self-awareness and a constant flow of information eat away at the characters from the inside, forcing them to fixate obsessively on details, or to disappear entirely into the escapism of alternative functions. Behind the abundance and humour lurks an emptiness, in which the Preacher’s voice echoes out, preaching on the vanity of vanities. In the world of Finnish literature, O is a truly unique case.” – Statement of the Jury, Runeberg Prize
