This Passing Summer
Tämä kesäDetails
Hamza, a foreign student in Helsinki is considering accepting an assistant position in Australia after graduation. Since this might be his last year in Helsinki, Hamza decides to spend his vacations here while his friends travel abroad for the summer.
As Hamza drifts in the city, observing its sights and sounds while mulling over his next move in life he comes across strangers who are on a similar quest. This summer, Hamza encounters an elderly man from his neighborhood who thinks his dog is racist, a man from Turku who has come to Helsinki for a vacation, and a massage therapist who has not taken a vacation in three years due to a curse.
