“Chilled Surrealism from Scandinavia: The Tragic and Equanimous Life of Lumberjack Pepe”

IN THE FEDERAL START –

Chilled surrealism from Scandinavia: lumberjack Pepe lives a quiet life in an idyllic small town in northern Finland – until it is shattered by a chain of tragic events: his factory has closed, his wife has cheated on him, his best friend has become a criminal psychopath, his house burned down and his mother died.

As chaos, strife, and surreal adventures unfold around him, he faces all challenges with a strange equanimity, determined to see the bright side of life. As if he knew a secret no one else knows.
