Lynxman

Lynx Man is a documentary about pensioner Hannu's entrancing journey towards finding a connection with the Eurasian lynx hiding in the forests. With his trail cameras, Hannu opens a gateway into the Finnish nature and towards a genuine connection with environment. Can Hannu save the Eurasian lynx, or is it in fact nature who ultimately saves the man?
