A personal documentary about an animal rights activist
More than ten years ago, Saila confessed openly that she was one of the activists who had secretly filmed animal farms. Saila spent three years of her youth in a legal battle where the prosecutor sought a jail sentence for her and the farmers wanted extreme compensation.
Saila’s sister Mai chose a different path, politics, and Saila fears that her biggest activist idol might become part of the machinery they had been fighting against together.
The leading activist, Kristo, saw Saila as the next hope for the movement, but Saila doesn’t want to witness the animals’ suffering anymore. She needs to save herself, and find out what kind of an activist and person she really is.
