“Someone has to do something. And it can’t always be someone else.” The heroes of the now legendary 2014 Finnish crime drama are environmental activists from the masked group Tellus and inspector Taneli, who is determined to put them behind bars after their first mistake. Until recently, all of their carefully planned actions have worked out, sabotaging corporations and planet-polluting factories are well-known throughout Finland. Only then, an innocent man dies in one of them. The group will either have to rethink their efforts or on the contrary take them to the next level, where ethics no longer play a role. Eevi, a twenty-three-year-old medical student who belongs to the group, will have to decide. Does she prefer to have real relationships or does she want to save the planet?

Q&A’s after the screening with producer Pekka Juhani Ruohoranta.
