Welcome to Siikalahti Nature Reserve. Here, the waters and forests of Eastern Finland join to create beautiful scenery and the perfect environment for migratory birds and for birdwatchers.
Sari, one of the heroes in this story, comes to Siikalahti in hope to trade her stressful job in the city for something more relaxing. Something closer to nature. Little does she know that nature has decided to withhold one major component of Sari’s business plans and thus deny the chance for any relaxation.
Low on hope and options, Sari encounters a mysterious wanderer – Risto. Maybe he will bring more insight into this upsetting situation. Maybe his cheeky remarks will be the last nails in the coffin of Sari’s sanity. Or just maybe, sanity or not, he’s the only escape Sari has got?
Characters:
Sari
Sari used to have a good job. Or at least, this is what everyone thought, not knowing the stress it brought.
Now, she has had enough of it and armed with doctor’s orders, with friends and family’s orders, and with that voice in her head screaming “What the hell were you doing?!” orders, Sari moves to a new business opportunity, one that promises calm and stability.
We all see it, right? We can all see the big neon letters “it’s a trap” written all over it. Even Sari’s dog Banksy, sitting…
Yes! Banksy! We finally found who Banksy is!
Sorry…
… even Sari’s dog Banksy, sitting next to her new work outfit, can see it and reluctantly joins the chorus in her head: “What the hell are you doing, Sari?!”
