PÖFF30 | Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival | 6-22 november 2026 | Cinema Artis
Family ties remain one of the most wondrous human mysteries, and the relationship between father and son is a relationship that has it all: tenderness, interdependence, esteem, conflict, and disillusionment.
Rarely does a film capture all the nuanced subtleties of the bitter, sometimes unbearable reality of the father-son bond, but also the remarkable devotion it requires: in “The Beauty of Errors”, Jukka Kärkkäinen revisits two figures he introduced in 2009 in his film, “The Living Room of a Nation”; Tero and his newborn at the time son, Henri.
The subtle, yet insightful observation of Tero’s relationship with Henri, now at the threshold of adulthood, unfolds against the backdrop of the sleepy Finnish countryside, showcasing a story that at times resembles a pocket-sized epic (all passion and intensity), and at other times, a film by Kaurismäki or a wistful waltz, carrying a bittersweet affirmation of life – and its unceasing continuity.
