It looks like a mosaic of water and woodland – Finland, the most eastern part of Scandinavia. Close to the Russian border, Finland still is home to rare animals: Brown bears and wolves roam the swampland, the Siberian Flying Squirrel lives in old woodpecker nest holes.

A wild lynx in the Finnish wilderness, goldeneye duckling jumping out of their tree nest, encounters of bears and wolves. The film gives us numerous insights of the fascinating life of wild forest reindeers, saimaa seals, flying squirrels, brown bears, wolves, wolverines, lynx, red-throated divers, ospreys, capercaillies and the beauty of the aurora borealis – the magical northern lights.
