A whisper in the white. A reckoning in silence. Where stillness is louder than words. Where the mountain speaks – and you listen. A descent through fear and forgiveness. The new short film by the FFF audience favorites should not have been made this way, but sometimes life takes over. And it wouldn’t be our Weger Brothers if they hadn’t accepted this invitation from life and shared their reflections on a life-changing experience with us.

The film presents gaps as institutional tools that reproduce exclusivity (after Sara Ahmed). Combining critical theory with narratives of marginalization and discrimination gathered through research interviews, the essay film offers an intersectional understanding of how whiteness is actively reproduced in our everyday environments. In addition to outlining the cultural-historical context of Finland, the film highlights the Academy of Fine Arts at the Uniarts Helsinki as a case study—examining the gap between its outwardly promoted policies and the reality of their implementation, as well as the institution’s exclusionary culture and discriminatory practices, drawing from the lived experiences of marginalized students.

The film tells the story of the Shendelev family, whose work is closely connected to the underwater world. For them, it is not just a job - it is a matter of the heart with a mission: to make the Baltic Sea, one of the most polluted environments in the world, cleaner and more alive. At the bottom of the sea lie not only sunken ships and planes, but also thousands of lost fishing nets - the so-called "ghost nets", which silently kill fish, seals, birds and other marine inhabitants. The family and their colleagues dive into the depths to find these nets and bring them to the surface. Their daughter Valentina follows in her parents' footsteps, but is still searching for her place in the world.
The New Women’s Prison in Limerick is regarded as the most state-of-the-art prison in Europe. With an innovative ‘trauma-informed’ design this is a brave new touchstone for the Irish Prison Services; one that indicates a tide change in how prisons operate in Ireland. But what does success look like in a facility like this and how does it reflect upon a modern Ireland? What is rehabilitation? Next to what social norms? What does this all say about a society where some may feel safer incarcerated, indeed, where some not even yet born are destined to end up ‘inside’?
