Väylä

In autumn 1944 whole communities abandon their homes to escape the devastation of the Lapland War. Among the refugees is a young girl, separated from her family by the fighting, herding the farm's cows. Over a year she walks roads that dwindle into tracks, stays in refugee camps and looks for her mother, while the river divides survival from death.
