50 years ago the rural farming population in Finland was fleeing poverty and moving to the cities, and to Sweden. At that time, Jörn Donner went around Finland – and indeed Sweden because that’s where the modern world started – asking people about their lives, their dreams, their ideas about progress, love and sex, about their country. Nowadays, this may be normal procedure, but back then the result was this completely captivating, free-floating Finnish classic. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
