After Us the Flood is a sci-fi-tinged drama film with environmental themes. The film raises an important and topical issue about the state of the environment and the importance of protecting it. At the heart of the story are young student characters that develop a fusion reactor, who not only provide a platform for identification, but also remind us that young people are an essential part of the solution to societal challenges.
The film is directed by Arto Halonen, an internationally acclaimed director-producer who has tackled important social issues. The film stars an impressive cast of widely experienced and well-known actors, including Linnea Leino, Elias Westerberg, Tuomas Nilsson, Antti Reini and many others.
