A mobile home parks next to a big military tent in the middle of a city. Two men are baking a cake there and they're happy to have visitors. Taito Hoffrén and Juha Valkeapää tell stories from their lives as artists and stories of woodcutters in Finland, with and without words and in a completely relaxed manner. With soft music and videos, on which hardly anything is discernable other than "video snow," they create in their tent a venue of deceleration in the municipal machinery. The Finn Juha Valkeapää (b. 1967) likes to present his singing talent onstage in his performance pieces. Sound designer Taito Hoffrén (b. 1974) plays and produces non-commercial (ethno-) music.
