Reindeer's Urban Visit
Keski-Korsu Mari
On a sunny summer’s day, a stuffed reindeer called Paavo decides to take a walk across the city of Helsinki. Unused to the urban culture, Paavo has many interesting experiences: tourists photograph and hug it, a Finnish MEP and former minister Liisa Jaakonsaari criticises its antlers, and it meets other stuffed reindeer.
