Very happy to see you here again after this long silence. But congratulations for all these activities and these beautiful films on the beautiful region of Karelia. Here the weather was quite gray and rainy in Charente Maritime but not really cold compared to the rest of Europe. Thank you for sharing these moments of intimacy and serenity with us.

[@charenteliving]

Thanks as always for the lovely words. Looking forward to getting back, even if its grey and rainy, will make a bit of a change from the snow haha!

[@mlomarechal6877]

C'est une magnifique vidéo de vos deux pays respectifs. Les paysages sont de toute beauté. En France le nom est Carélie, c'est pourquoi j'avais un peu de mal à situer la région en Finlande. Il a beaucoup plu ici en Charente, et l'hiver est relativement doux. La semaine prochaine les températures devraient être de 20 °C (prévisions) mercredi 14 février, jour de la Saint Valentin !

[@charenteliving]

Désolé pour la réponse tardive et merci pour ce charmant commentaire !

[@peterwhite9261]

Welcome back to KZbin. Your film looks very interesting. I look forward to it's release here. Perhaps you may win awards. Have you considered releasing to Sundance or similar? Toronto usually hosts the Sundance awards in Canada around pride festivities. I loved the scenery in this. I really hope there is a renewal of teaching the language. Take care and best wishes.❤

[@charenteliving]

Hi Peter, many thanks for the wonderful comment. Apologies for the late reply but we wanted to have a little more concrete information when getting back to you. We haven't applied with it to Sundance unfortunately but it is now for rent on the international platform GUDSHO, as many have been asking to see it so we have decided to make it available to the public. I will add the link here if you would be interested to see it. Many thanks for the lovely comment. www.gudsho.com/gvodhcpwqs
