White terror, red terror

Finnish Civil War in 1918. There was a power vacuum with both German and Russian empires wielding their shields in the mix. All the suspicious leftist people were thrown into jails. Suomen Hauskin Mies tells a tale of a prison island full of incarcerated theatre people who must write and perform a play for German delegate and unless it isn't well received they are going to be executed. Probably the best Finnish movie I've seen all year.
