Black Hole Mama

A restless suburb in North-Eastern Helsinki. A drunk is raging violently in the hallway, a mail slot frame stuck on his arm. There are bloodstains on the stairs. Black Hole Mama is a personal black-and-white documentary tracing out details in a neighborhood facing a massive change. People living in a house doomed for demolition miss their community and are afraid of losing it forever. At the same time, they reflect on life as a whole and their own purpose within. Gradually, their memories and stories are woven into a tapestry where the convivial everyday life intertwines with darker tones. In the end, one just needs to decide what to bring along and what to leave behind. crew: director, cinematographer, writer: Heidi Piiroinen editor, writer: Kalle Sipilä re-recording mixer: Veli Laamanen trailer: https://vimeo.com/205977180
