Timo Korhonen

A documentary film that explores the experiences of soldiers traumatized by war and those of their children. During the Continuation War, 15,700 soldiers required psychiatric care. Through letters from the front, medical records, interviews with the soldiers' children, as well as wartime documentary films and photographs, the film reconstructs the conditions under which the minds of these young men were shattered. After the war ended, the military psychiatric hospitals were closed, leaving the traumatized men in the care of their families—effectively bringing the war home.

The film examines the painful relationship between fathers and sons through the eyes of one family. Four generations of men are featured in the film. Father to Son deals with the conflict between generations and their subjective memories, and the way different methods of raising children pass from one generation to the next. How often and to what extent do we repeat the behavioural patterns of our fathers; can we change or break these patterns or is repeating them inescapable, and how many generations are needed for change to occur? Are the values we have inherited from our fathers still valid in the modern world? One of the leading themes of this film is the sensitivity of a man and a boy, and its preservation and suppression.

A choir of tired nurses sing to Anna-Mari Kähärä’s hypnotic tunes about the truths of everyday nursing work in a musical documentary directed by Susanna Helke and co-scripted by Helke and Markku Heikkinen. DocPoint’s opening film is new in its format, and jolting in its message. It is a cinematic-musical work of activism, calling for more humane work, life and old age.
