Once Upon a Time in a Forest
A modern fairy tale unfolds in the enchanting embrace of the Finnish forest, as young people seamlessly weave into the fabric of nature, swimming in crystalline lakes and revel in the calm presence of the ancient trees. This idyllic harmony is imperiled as the forest faces man-made extinction. Driven by her love for the forest, 22-year-old Ida becomes the leader of the new Forest Movement, coming face to face with Finnish forest industry giants and confronting generational bias.
