"Jaw dropping... one of the most extraordinary factual films to be shown this year." - Guardian
Around 150 km northwest of Helsinki, the Finnish government is building a solution to the world's nuclear waste problem: an underground repository called Onkalo (or 'hiding place'), intended to safeguard the country over the 100,000 years that nuclear material remains harmful. But the problem remains - will those people who stumble upon Onkalo in an unknowable future recognise the danger that waits for them underground?
Going beyond the question of nuclear waste to consider how we conceive of our own future, Michael Madsen's mesmerising film asks a mind-bending central question: how do we communicate with someone 100,000 years from now?
