Finlanders are known more for their buttoned-up silence than their willingness to share their most intimate thoughts. But as producer Sami Jahnukainen proves with The Living Room, a single camera can produce hours of footage of Finns addressing their deepest, darkest thoughts. The result is an engaging documentary, lovingly edited in a way that allows each character to form his or her narrative. The individual everyday experiences converge into a sensitive and surreal story of human life.
