Hanasaari A is a short documentary about the changing cityscape of Helsinki, and the final moments of a coal-fired power plant. The old industrial milieu is being destroyed to make space for modern housing units.
The film is a combination of animation, live action cinematography, and graphic elements. It is based on 500 000 photographs taken during the final two years of the existence of the power plant.
