Hope is always an option
Directed by Mikko Myllylahti
Produced by Aamu Film Company, Keplerfilm
A darkly comic fable about an unshakeable woodcutter navigating catastrophe in a small Finnish town, blending magical realism with philosophical acceptance.
An open-pit mine is unearthed in an idyllic town in Northern Finland. A strange chain of dreadful events affect the life of Pepe, a kind and optimistic woodcutter. But no matter what happens, Pepe seems to be fine with it, as if he holds a secret of existence that is hard to grasp.
