An old soldier carves a croft out of the Finnish forest and calls it home, but try as he might to tame the land, its magic endures.

Like dragonflies darting over the marsh, their lives glimmer briefly and then are gone. But through war, famine and heartbreak, what endures is the wild, and the certainty that wherever we put down roots, the land will grow roots in us too.
