Power of Love

Saara and Robert are happily in love. Robert recently moved from Berlin to Helsinki to give their relationship a real perspective. Their everyday life is characterized by playing with gender role clichés and power relations, but behind the unconventional facade they both struggle with fears and insecurities. Full of anticipation for a break, they set out for an extended summer vacation on a deserted island in the Finnish archipelago. Stirred by the raw nature, the couple fall back into archaic patterns they desperately try to overcome.
