The vast Finnish archipelago consists of thousands of rocky islands. It’s a place where time passes differently, the mind has space to wander and even the smallest everyday things can be a source of endless fascination. The film introduces five islanders who, each in his own way, reveal different sides of the archipelago and of the human spirit.
