Concrete Night is a dream-like odyssey through beautiful Helsinki over the course of one night.
Simo – a 14-year-old boy and his older brother Ilkka – are the sons of a helpless and unpredictable single mother. Their chaotic home is located deep in the heart of a concrete jungle in Helsinki.
Ilkka has one day of freedom left before starting his prison sentence and their mother persuades Simo to spend this last night with his brother.
Finnish female director Pirjo Honkasalo’s gorgeously stylised work is about what we pass on to younger generations, and the ways we do it.
