The Sounds of the Northern Forests

Markku Lehmuskallio

Documentary

A waterfall, a moose, a marsh. Graceful swans, owls and woodpeckers. A change of season and, finally, the invasion of human civilization, the sound of chainsaws and gunfire. From the perspective of the animals, the film explores the ecological disaster and man's conception of nature bent to the sole purpose of serving him.
