Veiko Õunpuu – Viimeiset (2020)
2011-2020DocumentaryDramaFinlandVeiko ÕunpuuTradition versus industrialism.
The world of The Last Ones is set in a small mining village, in the Lapland tundra, filled with tensions between local reindeer herders and miners.
The struggling mine owner, nicknamed The Fisherman, supplies his workers with drugs so they’ll forget a tough existence. The nearby small community of reindeer breeders also struggles.
