A film that in a tragicomic and absurd way shows how everything unknown automatically seems to us nasty, intimidating, and dangerous. Using a brown mushy creature that suddenly appears in a lake near a Finnish summer cottage as an example, the director gives a remarkable generalization to how we often treat strangers who break into our familiar life routine. Without trying to understand the nature of the unknown, we just want to burn it down in order to get rid of it. Still remaining warmly human, the film shows the narrow-mindedness and fears of humans. The film uses a short duration to uncover many different layers of information, raising the tension with an intensity common to a horror movie ending with a brilliant ambivalent song.
