Choking on oatmeal

It's the same narrative as in his (Jonas Berghäll's) Miesten vuoro (Steam of Life) from 2010. A documentary of real life tragedies that are pretty heartbreaking to hear, but the film maker also added his personal problems (obesity, loneliness, exhaustion) in the mix. Back then Miesten vuoro took a chokehold, it was such a breath-taking depiction of the hardship of a common man that Miehiä ja poikia has quite a legacy to escape, but I reckon unheard harrowing stories never end.
