– If we shoot this now between February and September, what will happen in between? von Reiche asked Liukko on the last day of January 2023.
Liukkonen replied that he would next tackle his autobiography and travel with his girlfriend at the time, singer Rita Behm, to Paris in August and September.
Liukkonen could not predict the separation that came in the spring, and no other difficulties were talked about in this context. They will appear in the documentary.
The conversation recorded in January 2023 is the body of the documentary. Over
Last summer, Liukkonen was in a closed ward after a suicide attempt. The company was not the first, nor the last.
In the spring and summer of 2023, Liukkonen’s condition was again very bad.
– I now have a difficult separation behind me. Dealing with it is especially difficult when I suffer from an unstable personality disorder. The person suffering from it is like a burn patient in the sense that the skin is completely missing, everything is felt extremely strongly. The pain is almost chronic. I have been in a closed department three times within a month, he says in the documentary with a video he shot himself.
– I’m sick as hell. My life has turned into one hell. I can’t get work done. I hope now that I could manage to be in this world for even one more day. I don’t know what it really matters anymore. One hell of a shark.
Miki Liukkonen’s father Esa and his wife remember in the documentary how his son was of the opinion that he had three, different brains. Over
At that time, at the end of May, Liukkonen lasted another day – and then another 43 days before he couldn’t take it anymore. Afterwards, Liukkonen left a message.
– This was no one’s fault, I just didn’t want to live. Too fragile, sensitive, painful. Don’t blame yourself.
