The Power of Photograph

Misunderstandings, insults and an inability to express emotions often shatter even close family relations. This reality series will help family members to reconnect with one another. The instrument of change is Miina Savolainen’s method of empowering photography where the subjects photograph each other. In the second episode, we meet 28-year-old Eero and his mother Kerttu. As a teenager, Eero was close to his mother, but later on, their mutual trust was shattered. When adult he told her his big secret, ‛I am gay’, his mother was dismissive. During their photography trip, Eero is supposed to focus on his mother. She is trying to get Eero to see her through different eyes by wearing various costumes. He is sceptical of her plans but their relationship begins to change during the photography trip. Later on, as they look at the photos he took, this change becomes even more pronounced. What kind of change mother and son really want from each other? And who will change in the end? And how?
