    In a distant future Finland, people live in a scarred landscape of long-forgotten catastrophes, and no one knows what led to this. A curious young person sets out to seek answers but immediately ends up enslaved by a fanatic cult of semiotics. Were the answers ever worth finding? Or was it the questioning that had intrinsic value? The Eye of the Fen is an allegorical ode to questions that remain unanswered. It is entirely spoken and sung in a fictional Finno-Ugric language and filmed partly on a Finnish “Neva” – a special kind of swamp, and partly in an abandoned nuclear reactor test facility.
