What is this about:  An other Finnish dystopian I saw during pretty short period of time (see also: The Last Border ) It's a nice change to see dystopian movies located near me as quite often they're filmed somewhere in a  more exotic locations. Nothern Finland is quite wild and bald but not as much as desserts. In the near future water is limited resourse (as it already is in many counties already) and many are suffering from the lack of. Fascist government and army are guarding citizens. Everything doesn't make 100% sense but overlall the plot and scenery are interesting.

Content warnings: Little violence
Best about it: Good minimalistic plot, little bit of action and nicely stark visuality.
How did I felt: Entertained
