Enchanting documentary film about young people who are fighting for one of the last coniferous forest areas in Europe. It’s a morality play, a love story of a younger generation whose main location and object of love is the Finnish forest.

As a protest against the deforesting, a new Forest Movement was born in Finland in 2021. The documentary follows closely charismatic young environmentalists as they take part in this new dynamic movement. Through its three main characters, it raises the question of where their commitment for nature conservation stems from and what kind of choices they’ve had to make in order to focus on protecting the environment. And how will they be able to protect the increasingly rare natural forests and restore the already-destroyed areas? The film is both a beautifully intimate and socially conscious, visually strong and thought- provoking story about environmental feelings and about committing oneself to protecting the environment.

Aalto is a documentary film journey into the life and work of one of the greatest modern architects, Alvar Aalto. The film shares for the first time the intimate love story of Alvar and his architect wife, Aino Aalto. It takes the viewer on a cinematic tour to their creative processes and iconic buildings all over the world.

We visit their most beautiful buildings in Finland, a library in Russia, a student dormitory at MIT, an art collector´s private house near Paris – and many other unique places. We learn about the colorful history of modernism and meet along the way the Rockefellers, Le Corbusier, and László Moholy-Nagy. Great tragedy struck Alvar with Aino´s premature death. He eventually got married again to another architect, Elissa Aalto, and had one his most significant professional periods in the 1950s. This charming documentary organically combines entertainment and knowledge, contemporary film material and rare unforeseen footage.

We hear the protagonists talking intimately in their love letters and see Alvar´s heartbreaking drawings of his wife on her deathbed. The film is based on profound research and narrated by the eyewitnesses and top researchers from all over the world.
