Synopsis
Parents often push their children to follow their steps. In this case, the

inspired by the director's childhood, Sierra takes us into the surreal car
racing.

Sierra is in the 2023 Academy Awards® Shortlist

Behind the Scenes





The stem
SIERRA is based on the animation that my father Heikki Joon made in early 1980s.
He animated this short piece with no prior experience. And the story is also
based on the relationship between us, touching on themes of dreams for future,
identity crisis and mental health.
