Menneet

[the past, gone]

We drive 23 kilometers to Lake Kirvesjärvi. In the van I sit between my mother and sister looking at the treetops along the highway. My uncle's wife is making coffee, thawing buns. I don't understand where the lake is. I always sit in the same stool. The green one with a little dent in it. It's important, just like seemingly insignificant things sometimes are to a child. I no longer remember the reason; I remember the feeling. There was some meaning to it.

An ongoing documentary project about the past and present in a remote village so small it’s exaggerating to called it a village. The location is tied to childhood memories__________________
