Golden Land

Finland, Sweden, Norway 2022 | 82 minutes | Somali, Finnish, English | Hebrew, English subtitles

Somali-born Mostafe arrived at an early age in Finland as a refugee. There, he had to face his foreignness but found love and support from his adoptive family. Now, with a family of his own, he decides to move back to Somaliland and establish a mining company on his family’s land, which is full of copper and gold. The move from Europe to the Horn of Africa turns out to be more challenging than he ever anticipated. The family’s daily struggles and Mostafe’s hardships with the venture raise issues of gender, religion, identity, political struggles, and cultural differences. It soon becomes clear that the treasure hunt is a journey towards something much more acute than finding material wealth.
