A Moment in the Reeds
Having moved to Paris for university, Leevi returns to his native Finland for the summer to help his estranged father renovate the family lake house so it can be sold. Tareq, a recent asylum seeker from Syria, has been hired to help with the work, and when Leevi's father has to return to town on business, the two young men establish a connection and embark on a romance set against the idyllic Finnish summer. However, looming over this chance encounter, is the father's imminent return to the lake house, the continuation of Leevi's studies abroad as well as Tareq's complex relationship with his family in Syria.

Simply A Masterpiece
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
