Lintukoto



In Finnish, Lintukoto means a warm, peaceful, paradise-like place. A clown from affluent Singapore, a city-island ranked the world's most emotionless society, visits a mutable Finnish forest that teases and engulfs its visitor. A resurrected Pierrot - romantic, sensitive, truth-seeking, moon-facing, disillusioned weeper of the cosmos - plays alone with the many faces of itself. Nature, at once rosy, dark, and alive with myths, gifts Pierrot an opportunity for modern spiritual metamorphosis.
