MIKA MYLLYAHO: HARMONY(Harmonia, 2009)— ROUGH COMEDY ABOUT WORK AND PASSION
Harmony is a bristling comedy about work, love and exhaustion. What do you do when work is the most important thing in your life but it´s killing you? Like Myllyaho´s Panic and Chaos, Harmony is a sharply humorous, gruffly tender study of modern times.
Olavi had planned to take a break from his job as a stage director. His last production had almost pushed him over the edge so it was high time for a holiday. But now he´s been offered the most tempting project of all: directing Goethe´s Faust.
Once he sees his girlfriend Sanna´s miniature design - a glass structure which would be just perfect for the set - Olavi is irresistibly drawn back to the world of theatre. While Sanna can´t bear to watch Olavi heading for a heart attack, producer Alex struggles to keep the director´s extravagant vision in line with the theatre management´s strict budget. Olavi is soon forced to look himself in the eye and weigh his career, his life and his relationship in the balance.
