No one is laughing here

A war documentary from a Finnish standpoint - the Winter War and the one that quickly followed, the Continuation War - emphasized on the letters those boys wrote back home. The lads went through hell and way too often their psyche cave in. Like historian Jenni Kirves put it: 'They had no right to vote or go to a restaurant, but they had the right to die in the war'. Lots of archaic footage, a few historians speak their minds and, as always, it's disturbing, the whole concept of the unnecessary deaths.
