LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT

In the spring of 1986, a nuclear reactor explodes in Chernobyl, and emotions explode in a small town in western Finland. Mimi is the new girl in class and suddenly fills 15-year-old Mariia's life with radiant light. The two kiss on the beach, share their fears and experience their first great love. The fact that they come from different social backgrounds doesn't matter to the teenage girls. 20 years later, Mariia returns home to look after her seriously ill mother. And suddenly the memories of the summer that changed everything come back to life.
Inari Niemi switches masterfully between time periods and tells the story of growing up in a time of abstract threats and social divides, full of melancholy and with images flooded with light. A stirring, romantic coming-of-age film with an eighties soundtrack. Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the Freiburg Lesbian Film Festival 2024!
