F&S_trailer

FEELINGS AND STUFF

is a 12 minutes long comedic short film about feelings and their sometimes unexpected manifestations. The film portrays two strangers meeting up on a diving platform. As a result they find themselves in a situation where they need to define what kind of persons they actually want to be. Will they be able to let go of their old patterns and accustomed habits? 

Feelings and Stuff is written and directed by Samuli Valkama and produced by Linda Ky. 

Here you can watch a short trailer (40s.) for FEELINGS and STUFF. The music is from the soundtrack of the film and is composed by Eike Hosenfeld and Moritz Denis. The song is called "La Belle-Soeur" and is published as a single by Salon Mondial.
