Robert (32) and Saara (35), freshly moved from Berlin to Helsinki, embark on an extensive summer holiday to a remote island in the Finnish archipelago, believing their love is free from traditional conventions. When confronted with the island's rugged and primal nature, their relationship faces an unexpected test. The power dynamics and gender roles they thought they had transcended in the modern world resurface as they struggle to survive. Their fragile bond transforms into an existential battle amidst the island's wild silence
"When you strip a relationship of all modern conventions, what remains? Or let me ask this: when fighting for survival on a remote island, far from civilization, does 'equality' even exist? Jonas Rothlaender's story of a relationship spanning from Berlin to Helsinki chases precisely these questions. The harsh, grey, and silent nature of the Finnish archipelago hangs over the couple like an oppressive shadow. The film confronts viewers with the question 'What if we were on that island?', exposing the primal dynamics lurking beneath seemingly modern relationships. Screened at the Achtung Berlin Film Festival and described by critics as a 'tense portrait of a relationship,' this is an unmissable opportunity for anyone who loves to contemplate relationships ."
