The film tells the story of Ida (Amira Khalifa), who was adopted from Africa
to Finland, when she was a child. Ida is an unemployed seamstress, and
living in the spare room of her ex-activist mother Kati's (Marja Packalén)
house. They live in the small Finnish village which does not seem to offer
much for young adults.

Kati has urge to fix Ida's life, but she wants to be more independent, and
encouraged by her friend Ville (Matti Ristinen), Ida sets out to Berlin in
order to seek for a job, and to prove to her mother; she can manage on her
own. Ida's search for life is spiced with wonders, drama and not forgetting
a little love.

Maata meren alla offers realistic drama about becoming adult as well as
relations between parents and children. It talks about those feelings that
are same for all in spite of gender, generation and place. It is cheerful
story that touches.
