The idea of this work was to break down time and linearity, and to emphasize the similarities between the members of a family and the close connection between them. Instead of creating differences between the characters in a traditional manner, the idea was to show parallel characteristics and repetitions of the same things at different times. The story uses 3 short episodes to show the death of the grandfather from the viewpoints of 3 different family members. (Eija-Liisa Ahtila)
