A Finnish equivalent of Werner Herzog’s GRIZZLY MAN, Hannu has a love and connection to nature that surpasses most. It is the rare lynx in particular that has bitten into Hannu’s heart - so much so that he actually claims to be able to speak its language. So when a dead lynx turns up in his forest, he dons an animal mask, crawls down on all fours and sniffs out the mystery through the mire and thicket. With hauntingly beautiful footage captured by hidden cameras throughout the forest, LYNX MAN paints a colourful and vivid twilight picture of the natural world around us - and of man’s impact on it.
