The Last Misfits of the Golden River

Aurinko laskee Lemmenjoella

Details

The Last Misftis by The Golden River follows the human fates of a 150-year-old gold prospector community in the distant Lapland wilderness, beyond telephone networks. Their peaceful life comes to an end when a new law forces them to abandon their way of living. Depicted through painting-like visual expression, this warm, bittersweet, and universal story tells about the only permanent thing there is: change.
