Synopsis:
Nuclear Neighbour isn’t just a film about a nuclear plant project, where the
end justifies the means. It is also a story about a regular person’s mammoth
task. This person is Hanna Halmeenpää, a teacher who volunteers her evenings
and weekends to save the unique natural environment of her home together with
her fellow activists in the Pro Hanhikivi association. When fighting a nuclear
project, free time is a luxury you can’t afford. In promoting her cause, Hanna
travels from one country to the next, poses difficult questions to the powers
that be and, during a TV debate, silences a minister with her incisive
argumentation. After reading to the children their bedtime story, Hanna returns
to her laptop in the kitchen to continue the fight to save Hanhikivi. ’I have
never before been an activist or political in any way,’ says Hanna. It takes a
weighty cause to change everything. Short synopsis: Nuclear Neighbour isn’t
just a film about a nuclear plant project, where the end justifies the means.
It is also a story about a regular person’s mammoth task.
