From the earth of frost and cold

Aarne and Veikko are returning home from war between Finland and Russia. They are ambushed by the Russian soldiers, Aarne dies and Veikko escapes. Back in Finland, Veikko falls in love with Aarne's sister and together they start a new live in a settlement farm in northern Karelia. It's a trademark Markku Pölönen film, Finnish scenery and country romance as the driving force and decent - albeit sappy - enough a story.

One-stroke deficit

Inspired by the real events of t he biggest heist of all time on Danish soil. But the filmmakers have certainly taken it easy with the facts...
