Your best night ever—now with 38 years of emotional damage.
Reconstruction tells about a certain night in 1982, reconstructed in 2020 by the people who lived it through together. The film combines dance, drama and documentary, but most of all is a story of a friendship of a boy and a girl, and how jolly situations can turn sour and how, even though close, friends do not share same experiences – and that can have an effect on their friendship.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film's structure mirrors memory itself: collaborative, contested, and always slightly out of sync.
Rare Finnish example of 'dance documentary' hybrid, following in the footsteps of Wim Wenders' Pina but rooted in Nordic emotional restraint.
