Koulun suru

A film about the grief of a Finnish village school as it becomes clear one summer that there will be no future for its pupil. The film conveys the cruel local politics that do not respect the values of local schooling and decide to close a fully active school of 30 pupils and two teachers just to earn some more annual savings. The film shows the blindness of how Finland – a promised land with high quality education and educative records – is vacating its countryside from its village-school culture.
