Sense and Sensitivity
Järki ja tunneDetails
A mother and her daughter’s lives are enclosed within cemetery walls. Their laughter heard between the graves might soon fade, as change is coming from the outside. Carita, the mother, is about to retire from the crematorium and might have to leave the cemetery. Daughter Christa, has grown accustomed to her mother’s emotional support, while Carita relies on Christa’s voice of reason when making decisions. Can sense and sensitivity be separated?
