Sand Bride

Inhalt

Sand Bride Salla´s quiet life turns to confusion when Rui appears out of the past. They relive the love story they had fifty years ago at a small missionary station in South-West Africa. The passion is still the same but time has left scars on their faces and hearts... And a secret yet to be discovered. Mervi, Salla´s grandchild, doesn´t make it easier for her. All three head up to North Lappland, driving an old american Car that Mervi had been repairing with her friend Lauri. Sand Bride is the story of a life wasted. It is also the story of a future filled with love and hope. It rebels against a taboo: despide their age, both Salla and Rui have a right to love and to be loved. "The road is a metaphor for life. When our travellers stop for a while they face painful memories and craving desires. Salla is a prisoner of her past. She has buried her feelings of love long ago. Rui escapes the future and drowns his misery into roaming the seas. Mervi lives a young girl´s present-day while Lauri remains stagnant. They all feel homeless. They all want to go home."(Pia Tikka)
