Elegance is a short film about a group of Finnish men, and the style and elegance of hunting partridge and pheasant. The filmâs protagonists are all wealthy men, for whom hunting is a treasured hobby, a passion and a way of life. The film unfolds in three acts on a scenic autumnal field. Meet the three businessmen: Nokiaâs former CEO, Jorma Ollila, engineering company Kone Oyâs owner, Antti Herlin, and the charming narrator, Publishing Company Otavaâs former CEO, Heikki A. ReenpÀÀ. His narration leads the viewer through hunting expeditions, creates the mood and introduces the people. Almost equally important are the gentlemensâ dogs: handsome pointers and setters, whose pedigrees, abilities and hunting prowess ultimately determine whether any birds are caught at all.
