    How to Pick Berries

    Elina Talvensaari 2010 Finland Documentary color 19min Finnish DCP
    Visitors from a distant place appear in the misty swamps of Northern Finland. The locals grow restless - things are changing, secret berry spots are revealed, and everything is getting uncomfortable. Who is to be blamed and who is to be profiting from all this? How to Pick Berries is an exploration of Finnish mind and the absurdities of global economy.
