What Is Haru, Island of the Solitary About?

The premise of Haru, Island of the Solitary without spoilers.

In the early 1970s Finnish graphic designer Tuulikki Pietilä, weary of static visual art, bought a Japanese‑made film camera and turned it on the secluded island of Klovharun, the couple’s beloved hideaway.
