About The Woodcutter Story
An open-pit mine is unearthed in an idyllic town in Northern Finland. A strange chain of dreadful events affect the life of Pepe, a kind and optimistic woodcutter. But no matter what happens, Pepe seems to be fine with it, as if he holds a secret of existence that is hard to grasp.
Directed by Mikko Myllylahti, The Woodcutter Story leans on a strong ensemble — Jarkko Lahti, Iivo Tuuri, Hannu-Pekka Björkman — 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 drama titles of 2022.
