I lived in Finland for two years and during that time travelled all over the country as part of my job but I didn't know places like this existed there. In an isolated community, a family drives its mineworkers hard to extract the final profits from the ground.
Concomitantly, there's a contrast with a nomadic and traditional way of life as the mine's area overlaps with that of traditional reindeer herders.
No strategies are left undone to wring the last out of the men - drugs, drink, women, violence. Underhanded skullduggery permeates the film in its cry against raw capitalism. No one is unscathed by the machinations of the owner.
The film ends in flight and a pristine expanse with the hope of a new life.
Absolutely recommended.
