The Year of the Wolf (Suden vuosi(2007 Finland)
Sari is a talented student of literature who appears composed and confident
on the outside. Her life is however characterized by a sense of remoteness:
women envy her for her intelligence and beauty, men admire her from a distance
for the same reasons. But looming inside her is a beast that isolates her
from the rest of the world. Sari has epilepsy, ... and a fear of new attacks
makes her live cautiously, keeping a safe distance to other people.
When Sari meets Mikko Groman, an older man who is a lecturer at her department,
she recognizes in him a similar element of remoteness. Mikko, who drifts around
in his private world of complex thoughts, only feels at home in the company of
19th century poetry. In the performance-oriented modern world of computers and
camera phones, Mikko is an oddity.
