How to Pick Berries

Economy is stranger than fiction.

Visitors from a distant place appear in the misty swamps
of Northern Finland. The locals grow restless - things are
changing, secret berry spots are revealed and everything
is getting uncomfortable.
Who is to blame and who is profiting from all this?
How to Pick Berries is an exploration of Finnish mind and
t he absurdities of global economy.
