The idea for the self-directed short film of rising Finish music star Lxandra took shape after her visit to her grandpa's magical old, slightly spooky abandoned house in Finland's countryside.
Lxandra says: "The house has been standing untouched for years and years, and it’s a very cinematic place–a ruin that holds so many memories. The house where much of the film takes place represents an old self or a past relationship and it’s a last goodbye to that. It travels through dreams and memories and the five stages of grief until it’s finally time to let go.
Though they didn’t end up filming there due to safety reasons, the place inspired the story, and the feeling the original house evokes is present throughout the final product.This film is a joint effort of LBTQI+ creatives, shot independently in Finland. It is meant to represent the five stages of grief in a captivating and cinematic settings.
