Every morning thousands of children go to school like canaries in a coal mine, measuring toxicity. The film deals with the chain of harassment and the way we all are broken in our own ways.

He was born in 1970. He graduated from technical education but never felt motivated to pursue a career as technician.

Since then his video art and experimental short films have been exhibited in festivals and events in over twenty countries. His film "Theme Park" (2015) has won the Main Prize of the National Competition at Tampere Film Festival in 2015.
