Food connects mothers and children from the very beginning. It remains a symbol of care and love throughout life.

Food is rarely just food. Food is something that brings people together. It keeps people alive. Food makes people meet each other, be with each other and be there for each other. It’s a medium for love and a way to create life-lasting memories. It’s a bond between families, mothers and their children. Literally since birth. Also for the former captain of the National football team of Finland, Paulus Arajuuri and his mother Sirja.

It was a pure pleasure to be able to tell a real story this beautiful. Life is food and food is life. This documentary story for S-market was made together with the agency FOLK, produced by Juha-Matti Nieminen and directed by the crème de la crème of all documentarists Otso Tiainen.
