Synopsis:
Väinö Auer (1895–1981) is a documentary film about the life and work of the Finnish scientist Väinö Auer in Finland and in Latin America. Auer was geographer, explorer and above all swamp geologist. His swamp auger reached the central, post ice age layers of earth’s climate history in Canada, Finland, Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia. The film travels in time to the different stages of Auer’s life: in the swamps and wilderness of Finland, the peculiar shallow swamps of Tierra del Fuego and the Patagonyan pampas that are whipped by dusty winds. The documentary film is based on Auer’s diary entries and articles. Through them, it also takes a tour of dramatic human history in the 20th century: the journey of a pioneering climatologist from nationalism to global awareness and concern about the development of the relationship between man and nature.
