Saara Turunen - Häschen

Dirty and pretty fantasies collide and cover the reality like a massive landslide in Puputyttö‘s world. The main character, a girl, is living in her fantasies and is stuck with pictures. She wants to be stewardess, tennis star, bosom babe, porno-fantastic stripper and pornacious Little Heidi - a woman in pictures, a woman who is brought to reality by a man looking at her adoringly. Between fantasies and reality the girl is looking for love and trying to express herself. The discrepancy between these two worlds sparks violent dreams in the girl and a will to demolish. Finally the girl gives in to a world that doesn‘t exist.
