Putoavia Enkeleitä – Falling Angels (2008)
The daughter of two great poets, Lauri Viita and Aila Meriluoto, has trouble finding her own path and keeps living her life through her father’s poetry. When her mother starts writing a biography of her father, she wants to read the script to see if it’s truthful. Reading the lines she starts to remember and understand the real truth – the tragedy of her talented father.
The movie is partly based on the Autobiography of Aila Meriluoto. The year it was published, the movie received three Jussi awards (the Finnish Oscar!) for the best actor, best actress, and best supporting actress.If you’d like to explore Lauri Viita in some more detail, here is one link in English:
