Rut Bryk: Touch of a Butterfly

Rut Bryk: Perhosen kosketus (“Touch of a Butterfly”) is a warm portrayal of the artist Rut Bryk (1916–1999), a pioneer in modern ceramic art. She left an extensive production of sensitive ceramic works for future generations, but no words to explain them. In the intimate documentary, experts on the artist and her immediate circle convey an image of Rut Bryk as a person at home in both global metropolises as well as the middle of Lapland’s wilderness.
