Synopsis

"If you wish to stay together this long, don't ever forget to say good night, my darling, and good morning, dear." Veikko and Impi Schroderus (78) built a house in Pelkosenniemi, Finnish Lapland in the early 1950s. At that time, a state-owned hydroelectric company, Kemijoki Oy, began developing the rivers of Lapland. When the company proposed building the Vuotos reservoir, the area to be flooded included 150 people, including Veikko and Impi. Now they are the only ones left. The battle over the Vuotos reservoir has spanned over forty years. In 1982, the Finnish government decided against building the reservoir, but the company persisted. A decade later, a new government allowed the company to apply to the Water Court for permission to build, reigniting the conflict. Despite the prolonged struggle, Veikko and Impi have never lost hope. They still cherish their home.
