On Destruction and Preservation

Tuhoutumisesta ja säilyttämisestä

Directing: Maija Blåfield

Synopsis

Five stories on destruction and preservation. A guided tour takes place in the arctic Svalbard on a mild and rainy February day. The focus of the sightseeing changes to something not originally intended and becomes an introduction to the climate change. The identifiable and endearing humanity of the characters makes the topic easier to address. And there is also humour.

The rest of the stories correspond and react to this setting in different ways. Stories include a discussion about saving the world, a famous Swedish eel who lived alone in a well over a century, a luggage lost in the ocean due to a container ship wreck and a sex scene of fungi giving birth to new life in a deteriorating house.

On Destruction and Preservation tells about humanity.
