Director's Statement
Why Finland? I never even thought about it. I had visited Finland several times, once as a tourist and once as a jounalist covering the film festival in Sodankylä. That was like a party in my heart. So when I was writing my first feature film script that was a given: the main character just had to go north, the story had to end in the far north of Finnish Lappland.
Hannes, the protagonist, is a daydreamer — but obsessed by his passion, to find out what he really wants out of life he has to go on a long train ride through vast, uninhabited landscape. To find love he has to travel to a small windy village at the end of the world.
