I'm assuming at the beginning of this film was a description of all types of people found in Finland, as we seem to start this film already in progress talking about peasants. Actually the film is more reindeer talk more than anything, and that's OK, because what's cooler than reindeer? They're cute and feisty little buggers! As well we see how the Finland people live and survive, mostly off of their reindeer.
