In the tape, the director combined two musical genres, incompatible at first glance - classical music and experimental noise, and all performances were recorded live. Balancing drama and humor, he shows how creativity becomes a form of therapy. As critics note, the tradition of restrained Finnish humor, familiar to the audience from the films of Aki Kaurismäki, is also well felt here.
