The play, written by Veikko Nuutinen and directed by Erika Hasti, gushes out the nostalgia of the 80s and 90s, without forgetting graffiti, depression, first loves and friendship, dreams, and painful growing up and leaving childhood.
This play will make you laugh and cry to death. The warmth of the childhood summer sun and the frosty coldness of the bottomless loneliness of the snow melting forever under the lowest balconies of the concrete block of flats in the neighborhood are present in it at the same time. Pasi was here is the play that changes a person only for a fleeting moment. This is the play that hugs and caresses and says that everything is fine even when it isn't.
