The cinematography of How to Pick Berries is very precise: the way of composing the lights and colors of the forest is fascinating. Among the twigs, domestic and foreign berry pickers crisscross – and life together isn’t always peachy. They take our jobs and now our berries too. Both sides are suspicious of the other.
Finnish berry picking has also been recently admired at the world’s biggest documentary film festival IDFA.
