DramaWar

Russia attacked Finland in late November 1939. This film tells the story of a Finnish platoon of reservists from the municipality of Kauhava in the province of Pohjanmaa/Ostrobothnia who leave their homes and go to war. The film focuses on the farmer brothers Martti and Paavo Hakala.

VIBE

A stark, unflinching portrayal of ordinary men thrust into an unforgiving conflict. It feels cold, brutal, and deeply human, focusing on the quiet resilience and shared struggle against overwhelming odds.
