Tellus - Season 1 (2014)

A pub discussion among the five members of Tellus ("Earth" in Latin) about the best strategy to save the planet results in the bombing of an Arctic Mining Co. installation. Taneli (Pirkka-Pekka Petelius), recently recovered from a stroke, heads the police investigation but, with no clues, there is little progress. With mounting pressure from the higher-ups he questions Alex (Lauri Tilkanen) and two other members of an environmental group engaging in street protests. Eevi (Minka Kuustonen), the brains behind Tellus, maintains the required discipline and secrecy, but ...

The next Tellus action topples some electric power lines. Taneli's boss, Reijonen (Heikki Rantenen), relays the minister's displeasure at lack of progress just as the first break occurs: CCTV footage of Janne (Henrik Hammarberg) phoning in responsibility for the latest attack. Meanwhile, Alex's group is growing impatient with his moderate approach. Eevi and Alex have their first date (a bike ride through Helsinki's tunnels), and Taneli becomes increasingly sensitive to the environment, noticing local wildlife (birds) and complaining about his family's waste of food.

The next Tellus attack(on the airport) is aborted when Taneli guesses the target. He begins cross-checking names which leads him to the high school attended by Eevi and others of Tellus. He tells her that Tellus can continue if nobody is killed and she becomes an informer. Taneli reduces his carbon footprint by selling his car and becoming a vegetarian. Daughter Noora(Saga Sarkola), soon to get her driver's license, is upset and son Oskari(Otso Aunola) doubts his individual contribution would help save the planet. In the meantime, Eevi and Alex move closer together.
