Director: Petteri Saario

Riikka lives in a small town in northern Finland, surrounded by a protected area. After a large international mining company shows an interest in metal mining at a national park, the young student decides to act. She must convince of her position several members of the city council, who see the mining company’s offer as an opportunity for local development. Riikka argues in vain that the concessions to industrial mining and the migration of a large labour force pose a threat to the region, and that there will be nothing left of nature for future generations. The documentary follows the story of a motivated girl who, although she experiences her first defeats among adults, confidently continues in her battle.
