Awaiting Action depicts dystopian Finland that struggles with public unrest, viral pandemic and climate change. Dictatorial world powers are influencing the way of life in remote Finland. However these elements are not far from the current day politics. Does humanity have time left for restoring the man-made imbalance, or is the anticipated dystopian future here, already?
