A young and driven government official, Jussi, finds himself responsible for overseeing the environmental permit for a massive nickel and uranium mining project in Northern Finland. The Talvivaara mine, spearheaded by the charismatic and visionary Pekka Perä, is implementing a groundbreaking mineral extraction technique while promising to create jobs in one of Scandinavia’s most impoverished regions. As Jussi delves deeper, he realizes he has been misled by several individuals and that the innovative method has unforeseen negative consequences. The mine is causing environmental damage that is being covered up. Jussi is presented with a new permit application from the same mine, accompanied by an enticing job offer and the prospect of a fresh start. He must decide whether to go along with the situation and, if so, whom to align with.
