During the summer, a Finnish couple welcomes a Russian orphan who lives 60 miles away. Geographical proximity is all that Sveta, of 11 years old, and this generous couple, have in common. Sveta does not speak and the couple is struggling to push her out of her shell, speaking to her in Finnish, a language she does not understand. They communicate rather through story-telling before turning off the light, transferred in shops and beekeeping. The summer child of the summer explores intrigued and reveals the roles associated with charity. Good intentions are sufficient to acclimate Sveta in the western world and give her a childhood? The film points to the cultural and economic gap between Finland and Russia, through the difficulties that Sveta encounter to create a contact with Tiina and Peter and to speak freely, going beyond the barriers of her status of orphan and going beyond the status of a charity accomplishment.

We present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes..
