Hannu lives alone on the edge of the forests in Finland and talks to Lynxes. He watches the shy animals with his wildlife cameras. He becomes consumed by a drive to protect them. So he dives deeper and deeper into their lives, puts on masks and becomes an animal himself and yet he can’t deny his humanity. A strange voyage into nature that crosses dream and reality with breathtakingly beautiful images. Selime Schauer-Altinbilek
