The Bridge / Silta
A man and a woman engage in a desperate battle between gloom and hope.
The Bridge by Marjut Rimminen is one of the finest Finnish animations through decades. It is a satire of war and peace, of optimism and pessimism. It explores the limitations of our reality with black humour. It is about the struggle between hope and despair, that neither of them wins, but life goes on.
