All the Light That Remains

Old mining village’s ghosts of the past emerge when Ukrainian seasonal worker Oleksandr arrives to work in Mätäsvaara.
All the Light That Remains is a hybrid documentary that explores the traces of war left on people and places.
As Oleksandr tries to rebuild his life in Finland, he ends up in the old mining village of Mätäsvaara, where he uncovers the village's buried history, shaped by war.
With a new mining project on the horizon, the film delves into how conflicts continue to haunt the landscape and its people.
