A documentary film about how old Turku became "modern".
Turku is the oldest city in Finland. Its old distinguished buildings were destroyed in the modern fervour - businessmen, decision makers and architects were all involved. Why were they unable to treasure history? The film does not only deal with the past but follows the present-day activists and squatters too: why do they decide to take over buildings? To whom does the built space belong and who makes the decisions over it?
The documentary film tells the story of two Turkus, the one from the past and the modern one. What was Turku like before the old city was torn down? How are today’s young people attempting to take control over city property by occupying buildings...
