Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Kuolema" by Leo Tolstoy is a novella written in the late 19th century. The story reflects on death and the responses it evokes from those left behind, specifically through the character of Ivan Iljitsh Golovin, a judge whose death becomes a focal point for exploring themes of mortality and the often shallow nature of social connections. The opening of the novella introduces us to the aftermath of Ivan Iljitsh's death, as his colleagues in a courtroom discuss the implications of his passing, revealing their self-interested thoughts regarding potential promotions and changes in their professional lives. As the news circulates, their reactions are marked by a mix of obligatory sorrow and opportunistic reflections, emphasizing the contrast between genuine grief and superficial pretense. The narrative quickly establishes a somber tone, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Ivan’s life and the societal attitudes toward death that will unfold throughout the story.
