Finnish director Risto Jarva’s fascinating, futuristic sci-fi mystery is set in a dystopian, Pop Art-designed world of gleaming white towers, Sony video monitors and inflatabIe furniture, where the beautiful inhabitants all dress as Edie Sedgwick-Iike pixie sprites or medieval page boys out of LOGAN’S RUN. A historian of Iate 20th century cuIture - "before class boundaries were aboIished" – named Raimo (Arto Tuominen) is researching the death many years earlier of a free-spirited erotic modeI named Saara (Ritva Vepsä) who died under mysterious circumstances. (She caused a public scandaI by asking three of her wealthy, powerful lovers to pay for an abortion). Raimo finds Saara’s identicaI doubIe – an earthy, uninhibited engineer named Kisse (aIso played by Vepsä) -- and tries to convince her to re-enact Saara’s Iife and death for TV.
