Abyss

Aamu, a vagabond at heart, meets luminous Melissa and knows her life will never be the same again. She soon learns Melissa has a darkness inside her that she tries to fight off with drugs. Months later Melissa is taking her first steps to sobriety and the two lovers plan a future together in the heat of summer. When Melissa travels to visit her estranged children, Aamu shacks up at a friend’s house in the countryside and waits for her. To get by she does her usual hustle of buying and selling old valuables. That’s when she crosses paths with Sacha, a fierce young woman and a passionate affair blazes between them. Aamu tries to hold on to her and Melissa’s dream. What Aamu fails to see is her own darkness; a desperate craving to be loved that will drive her to the brink of an abyss and beyond. Aino Suni’s second fiction film is a heart-wrenching love story about lust, addiction and survival.
