Imatra

Imatra is a Finnish town on the border with Russia in South Karelia. Bianca, a Spanish teacher, went to live and work there to escape a complicated relationship. Her ex-boyfriend joins her: his assignment is to make an industrial documentary on the preparation of wood pulp. Corso Salani is a true exception in the Italian film scene. A director and actor of undoubted quality, he is constantly committed to new projects that have originality as their main characteristic. This is the case of the series "I confini d'Europa" of which Imatra is the third chapter. Salani wants to explore places that are on the edges of that complex organism that is now the European Union.

Directed by Corso Salani, Imatra leans on a strong ensemble — Paloma Calle, Corso Salani — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2007.
