"RETRIBUTION TO EARTH" is a short film about Finnish identity.
For the rural couple of this film, the realities of life entail a constant struggle with nature as well as with the inner complexities of the mind. Ordinary everyday tasks turn into events that determine their very identity.

The couple's process of constructing their individual identities becomes a joint process, reflecting their emotional state.

The Finnish nature, full of paradox, sets the pace for its inhabitants and forms the setting for this film.
