Очаровательное самоубийство в кругу друзей

The way humor is used to tackle topics like suicide is striking. I wonder what led to this unique tonal balance in the story.

The humor made me uncomfortable at times but also made the story more engaging. How did others interpret the tone shift between comedy and tragedy?

Being set in Finland, the cultural nuances add depth. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by real places or purely fictional.
