“When talking about suicide, one talks about life, not death.”
Every day in Finland alone, three people commit suicide. Thousands of people are affected by suicide yearly. Once I Dreamt of Life is a feature length documentary film about suicide — a subject that people rarely want to talk about. It’s an account about one’s personal relation to suicide, but also studies suicide as a social phenomena: What are the motives, warning signs and consequences?
