On Espoo Day, Saturday, 31 August, Virpi Suutari's film Once Upon a Time in a Forest will be shown in Tapiola. Following five young forest activists – Ida, Minka, Otto, Ville, and Otso – the film takes viewers to snow-covered mountains, forest industry boardrooms, underwater scenes, and activists' tents where secrets are whispered into each other's ears. The discussions among the young people, along with the documentary's breathtakingly beautiful images, shake viewers into confronting the plight of our dwindling forest nature. At the same time, Suutari's humane approach gives the subject space to breathe.
