So It Goes

2012 · 28 min

A raw, bittersweet slice of Finnish adolescence, where impulsive choices and small betrayals sting with quiet realism.

Overview: Out into the big wide world as fast as possible. That’s Elli’s plan. But where should she get the money from, if not steal it? When Heze falls for her, she steals from him and both have to learn: “Adulthood is a big pain in the arse”.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, earnest and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Coming-of-age, betrayal, class, love
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
