Synopse
Maiden of the Lake tells about the fun moments 13-year-old Emika and her cousin Antti have at a lake during all four seasons, surrounded by fascinating nature. Together the cousins roam in an untouched forest, swim, fish and pick bilberries. In the winter they sleep on the frozen lake, under the northern lights. In the spring they encounter the worlds rarest seal, the Saimaa ringed seal.
Maiden of the Lake is a breathtakingly beautiful nature story for the whole family.
