AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

A deeply affecting historical drama from Alli Haapasalo, Tell Everyone is a powerful story of integrity, resilience and resistance, set in late 19th century Southern Finland.

In 1898, a young woman arrives to Seili sanatorium island, a common destination for troublesome women. The young, free-spirited Amanda Aaltonen (Marketta Tikkanen) has led an unconventional life and refuses to submit to the fate reserved for poor, low status women.

With her freedom taken away, Amanda must adjust to a new life in confinement, but adamant to flee the island she begins to plan her escape. To succeed, she must connect with the other 'mad' women, and before she knows it, she begins forming close bonds. However, after numerous failed attempts to escape, Amanda eventually resigns herself to her fate, finding friendship, happiness, a likeminded community and even secretly falling in love with a local fisherman.

But the divide between patients and local islanders remains impassable, and soon Amanda must face a decision between freedom, acceptance, escape and belonging.

"A resonant and powerful film about womanhood, agency, and the ways with which people can try and survive in untenable circumstances." - Should I See It
