At the Saari Residence, I will be writing a movie script entitled Kaksikymmentä hetkeä ennen kuolemaa (Twenty moments before death). The script depicts a long-range patrol unit’s gradual descent into hell. The protagonist, lieutenant Aulanko, is faced with questions larger than life as he accompanies a group of German ethnologists behind enemy lines. Where do you draw the line between duty and evading responsibility? Or between love and self-love? Are final decisions reversible? Can a brotherhood of arms be dismantled unilaterally? How about just a brotherhood?

In my life so far, I have written novels and plays.

At the Saari Residence I hope to find tall trees and long nights, amongst other things.
