HYVÄ POSTIMIES

Ivan's opponents either want to close their eyes to the refugees, close the border or reintroduce communism. Ivan, on the other hand, is campaigning while delivering letters and arguing with his neighbours about the pros and cons of integrating refugees and thus the future of the village. The documentary shares the passion, humour and warmth of its protagonists. The post-socialist experience and the ageing of rural areas are linked to discussions about the future of the village community. Far from the areas dominated by the so-called “refugee crisis”, the film only appears to assume a peripheral perspective, since it is, in fact, addressing key questions about coexistence. FS
