Director: Elina Talvensaari

How to Pick Berries vMist covers the forest trees in the Savukoski region of north Finland. Tiny characters appear between them, covered from head to toe. What seems at first like a science fiction film is in fact a documentation of another 'wonder' of globalization.

These invaders are actually work immigrants from South East Asia, who have come to earn the little money they can, competitive wages for the local community.
