Korpinpolska plot

A married couple and an old man live in a remote part of Finland. The young man goes hunting, but only to feed himself and his wife, not to kill whole hordes of animals. He sets traps and that causes problems with the police, who fine him. Unlike those few people who live off the land and basically keep the ecological balance intact, countless trees are cut down for the construction of a highway. Soon a contradiction grows between the advancing civilization and the quiet life of the young couple and the older man.
