Best Possible Life
Maailman onnellisin kansa
United Nations selected Finland as the happiest country in the world twice in a row. Finns are still very sceptical about this recognition – we tend to see ourselves as melancholic, pessimistic and dreary. Is this really the best possible life? A poetic documentary plows through archives deep into the nation’s soul and visits places where these Nordic people can be found at their happiest.
