Synopsis
Prisoners of the Ground is about Finnish tango - melancholic music with lyrics that express a search for lost paradise. We will make a journey through Finland to the rhythm of Satumaa, the most famous Finnish tango, that many Finns consider as a second Anthem. Dreaming of a better place on earth, but knowing it is impossible to get there; people have to make do with their fantasy and memories to sometimes imagine themselves in paradise. Prisoners of the Ground is a portrait of an introvert and melancholic society that will lead us from dark winter to a summer paradise.
