    • Synopsis
    • Lady Time is a documentary film about Liisa, a woman who died alone with no one left to miss her. I, the director, happened to buy her home after her death. Everything she owned from books to photos was left in my new apartment. With nobody to remember her, what would happen If I threw all her things away? The thought of absolute oblivion scared me so I decided to find out who she was.

      The story of Liisa unfolds as a detective story, piece by piece. It's not that her life was extraordinary, but that everyone's life is extraordinary. And still our lives are eventually going to be forgotten. The awareness of death gives life its meaning. Lady Time is an attempt to hold on to that meaning by telling a story of a nobody, a mystery lady I shared a home with.
