Päivät kuin unta

About This Movie

Päivät kuin unta is a fascinating blend of comedy and drama that delves into the bittersweet nature of memory and friendship. Esko, a seasoned writer in his twilight years, finds himself reflecting on the past after losing most of his close-knit group, save for Heikki. The film's tone is both nostalgic and introspective, creating a warm yet melancholic atmosphere. It's interesting how Esko’s decision to write about the summer of '74 acts as a catalyst, unraveling long-buried secrets and emotions. The pacing feels deliberate, giving you time to absorb the poignant moments, while the performances, particularly from the lead, are layered and evocative. It’s distinctive in its approach to storytelling, weaving humor through serious themes without diminishing their weight.
