The hosts of the television program Oma maa mansikka promise 10 million to anyone who manages to turn the remote village of Taka-Surkee into a popular tourist destination. The challenge is taken up by Arvid and Valtte, two Roma men; Naema-Aslak and Soikiapää, two Sami men who are fond of alcohol; and Vähänen, a former bank clerk who worked at the bank before certain irregularities came to light. Taka-Surkee has no town plan, nor much else, but it does have Römppäinen's kiosk and a man who asks about Viljo. The villagers themselves do not want tourists in their neighborhood, so they decide to put the prize money in a better place...

A consumed-by-rage woman travels from universe to universe to avenge the death of her daughter by brutally killing her murderer over and over again. And that's all that she does.
The French-born director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre’s strategic choice to entrust the interpretation of a conventional, feminine character to a non-binary actor pays off: Corrin’s Lady Chatterley is awkward, edgy, and uninhibited at the same time.
If you've watched 'Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles', you are either someone who believes “nothing happens” in this three and half-hour film or you’re like me who believes everything happens.
The shattering of what we strive to maintain as reality. It is certainly truthful to state that most, if not all, of us have experienced moments of genuine mental stress. Regardless of what might be the cause, the sheer unsettledness, the pressure that weighs upon us is a tangible force that CAN seem insurmountable. However, more often than not, this is only a temporary , one we can come through and simply move on from.
