Finland2017documentary93'Fokus na Finlandię (2019)
In 1971, Jörn Donner directed “Fuck Off – Images from Finland”, a film in which he asked Fins about how they liked living in their own country. Almost 50 years later, Donner travels around Finland once again to ask fundamental questions to the country’s residents and find out how the country has changed over this period. To find answers, he visits the representatives of all social strata ranging from the youngest to the oldest and from the poor to the rich. The director himself, who is 86 at present, becomes the film’s protagonist and uses his experience of a disease to diagnose the country considered one of the best places to live in the world.
