The Living Room of the Nation wins Special Award at Tampere Film Festival

The Jury said:

Forget Nokia and innovation economy! The jury hereby demands that this film must from now on be used as the main tool for building the Brand Finland. [...]

[...] At first the characters in the film may seem like an amusing collection of freaks, but in the end their situation and worries are proven to be the same as ours – much like the situation and worries of the characters in Samuel Beckett’s prose and drama.
