How to Pick Berries
Miten Marjoja poimitaan
Elina Talvensaari
Visitors from a distant place appear in the misty swamps of Northern Finland. As harmless as they are, their foreign presence unwittingly disrupts the pace of local habits. They have come to look for berries, an activity that all of a sudden seems to embody all the values of local culture. Who is to blame and where do the profits end up? How to Pick Berries is an exploration of Finnish mind and the absurdities of global economy.
