Square the Circle

How does it feel to be a procrastinating perfectionist who is afraid of the dark, while living in a place where darkness consumes half the year? What is space anxiety and its relation to fear of infinity? All this and more is revealed in Hanna Hovitie's visually innovative comedy, framed as a circle as opposed to the usual filmic square. A love letter to all the people who, like the author, feel they don't belong.
