Sin (2019)

Original title in Finnish: Synti

Students film | Drama Duration 30:41

The refugee crisis has become familiar world wide, but it is felt between people: it is felt between Abdul and Päivi. Päivi, being haunted by her past, has grown accustomed to a life in the solitude of rural Finland. When needing temporary residence during an asylum application process, Abdul, who has grown up in a densely populated city in Afghanistan, is confounded by the never ending emptiness of his new temporary home, Päivi’s farm.
