New Jersey Film Festival: Giant’s Kettle

Saturday, February 08, 2025 @ 5:00pm



NJ Film Festival
71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Giant’s Kettle – Online for 24 Hours and In-Person at 5PM!



Giant’s Kettle - Markku Hakala, Mari Käki (Ylöjärvi, Finland)

Somewhere up north at the age of peak modern there is a man longing for connection but unable to break loose, and a woman feeling alien to the world which has everything figured out for her, without her. They make their best to fit in and fulfill their roles but struggle to connect with the world, themselves and others. Something important is missing. As if the whole world was drained of love, chugging along on mere duties and bureaucratic inertia, passing over the baggage of the generations. During the family trip back to the past everything starts to break apart. For how long is it possible to resist the force of life? Giant’s Kettle is a journey into the unconscious, a love story without love, an epic tragicomedy of the mundane, and a mystery in a world emptied of mystery. 2023; 71 min.
