One Out of Desire, Another Out of Love

Three couples gather for dinner at a country manor—or at least, a group of people whose relationships are clearly more complicated than they appear. When former lovers, unspoken pasts and new dreams come together under one roof, the social game soon takes unexpected turns. Written by Kari Heiskanen, *Yksi halusta, toinen rakkaudesta* is a biting comedy-drama about relationships, moral flexibility, concealing the truth and how far people are willing to go to protect themselves. Everyone has something to hide. One is trying to save their career and marriage, another is making amends for past mistakes through art, a third craves power and purity, and someone finally dares to break long-silenced taboos. Directed by Eija Kankare.
