Beautiful Finnish nature

Breathtaking documentary of Finnish lakes and those whose life depends on it. 'Järven tarina' takes audience to trip for place, which haven't seen camera before. No-one has filmed Finnish lakes like this before.

On the other hand, if you are interested in Finnish mythology, this is your film too. Narrators (Samuli Edelmann) voice is calming and the stories of ancient people in Finland makes documentary a bit more interesting.

Long story short: Beautiful Finnish nature, specially lakes, with amazing landscapes on a different seasons. Warning! This documentary might get you more interested in Finnish extraordinary nature. But trust me, it's worth it. Any time of the year.
