Documentary – Coq Au Vin

A young farmer couple living in the middle of nowhere in Finnish Lapland is heading towards a midlife crisis – they need to answer the question of when it’s too late to start chasing your dreams and whether one even has ones. The film reflects the relations between the two main characters, Aino and Mikko, their animals, a couple of neighbours and the dreamlike landscape they all live in. The partly abandoned, partly abused, partly just beautiful landscape portrays the state of mind of the characters trying to reach the next chapter in their lives.
