Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Hanna teams up with her sister to create a parody Instagram romance with a young actor and raise awareness on how hungry society is for romantic narratives. Once her love story begins, however, Hanna finds herself tangled up in the unresolved past with her “you were never my boyfriend” friend Lasse.
Cheeky, bold, and deliriously chaotic, Hannaleena Hauru’s incredibly fresh work of auto-fiction revels in provocations. Utilizing iPhone footage for its adventurous montage, the electric editing forms a frontal attack on a male-dominated film industry and the hyper-performativity of our digital age.
