Heart of the Land (2015)
A couple on the verge of retirement run a small dairy farm in the Finnish countryside. Without anyone to carry on the family farming tradition, the work of generations is quietly coming to an end. A film about letting go that won’t soon let you go, this unforgettable record of the farm’s final year brims with affection for the land, its livestock and lifestyle.
