Tia Kouvo - A Finnish Christmas
In this new episode of our podcast, the Finnish director Tia Kouvo discusses with us her feature debut and her desire to see a more truthful depiction of the family.

Despite some weak attempts to save the day, things will rapidly go awry.

This is the set-up of Tia Kouvo’s Family Time, screened in the Encounters section of this year’s Berlinale.
