About This Movie

Piripäiväkirja is a raw exploration of addiction and the complex mother-daughter bond. Pinja’s relationship with intoxicants serves as a lens through which we see their intertwined lives—both chaotic yet strangely tender. The documentary’s pacing feels almost meditative, creating a kind of space where you can sit with their struggles. The atmosphere is heavy, yet there’s a flicker of hope as both women confront their realities. It’s not flashy; there are no grand effects—just honest performances that ground the film. You really feel the weight of their decisions, and the film doesn’t shy away from the messiness that recovery entails. It's a distinctive piece that lingers, inviting reflection long after the credits roll.
