Elegance

Eleganssi

Documenting the style and elegance in grey partridge
and pheasant hunting, the film follows men from the
upper rungs of Finnish society for whom hunting is
a shared passion and lifestyle. Reenpää is a publisher
and charming storyteller: as something of a master of
ceremonies, he guides viewers from one hunt to another
and from one atmosphere to another, introducing
them to a number of people along the way.
