In the evening I enjoyed some "summer theater". The play was called "Calamari Union 2012", which is clearly a nod to Aki Kaurismäki's 1985 movie. And it was great!
Until recently, Myllykoski was really known for a big paper mill that was shut down during 2011. This was a cold shower to the town's economy. In the play some unemployed paperworkers embark on a journey to find mystical Voikkaa in hopes of getting employed again as paperworkers (The town of Voikkaa is 30 kilometers away from Myllykoski and they used to have a paper mill too. However, it was closed already in 2006 but the play was set up like they didn't know that :).
