THU 1.10 21.00 KINO – – – A DAY WITHOUT WAVES / BARIKA RISING / SHAPES OF RESISTANCE / FREEDOM RENAISSANCE
Suomifornia official selection 2026 welcomes:
A DAY WITHOUT WAVES / BARIKA RISING / SHAPES OF RESISTANCE / FREEDOM RENAISSANCE
On the eve of the new academic year, Mathilde arrives in Paris to begin her studies at the Sorbonne. She shows up with her skateboard, her doubts, and the shadow of a love left behind in her hometown.
Amid the crowd of first-year students, reality hits hard. Far from her family, her friends, and her boyfriend.
Skipping class on her skateboard, she meets Zelda — a radiant and singular skater. With her, Mathilde discovers a form of sisterhood she had never known before. Through skating, shared silences, and Zelda’s raw sense of freedom, Mathilde begins to waver — for the span of a single day.
