Splinters - A Century of an Artistic Family

Peter von Bagh's essay documentary is the story of an artistic family Aho-Soldan-Brofeldt, whose influence has been important in Finnish art throughout decades of the 20th century. Author Juhani Aho, painter Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, cinematographers Heikki Aho and Bjorn Soldan and photographer Claire Aho are the main characters. The film moves between different eras - things are repeated, they evolve, they emerge in a new form. At the focus, we have half a century of history of Finland and Finnish culture, very versatile.
