Director Miika Soini has been awarded a Prize for the Best Director at the Zerkalo Film Festival in Russia. The prize for the best director is one of the festival's main awards. The leading actor of the movie is famous Finnish actor Lasse Pöysti.

The film portrays the life of an elderly man, Thomas, who lives alone in his basement apartment accompanied by a radio, chessboard and a photograph of his wife. Every time Thomas leaves his apartment the outside world reminds him of his old age, loneliness and past life. There is no running away - Thomas has to face the hanging shadows of the past in order to feel a sense of completion.

Юлия А.Павлова

Художник о себе.
Я художник Юлия А.Павлова, рисую с детства. Получила образование в области моды, работала модельером, cоздавала коллекции одежды; модели широко продавались, в том числе в Пассаже, крупнейшем в Санкт-Петербурге универмаге товаров для женщин. Все свободное время посвящала рисованию, и в какой-то момент стало ясно, что именно этим я хочу заниматься дальше. Бросить всё было страшновато, но риск оправдался – я следую своему призванию, мои работы востребованы, я участвую в выставках. В 2007 году в Швеции прошла моя персональная выставка (организована ABF, выставочный зал г.Халлефорс), также в Швеции была приглашена и декорировала вход здания организации «Langvasten».
Сейчас я занимаюсь в основном станковой графикой (тушь, перо), и иллюстрациями.
