DramaRomanceHistory

The young man must set up a clear border between Finland and Russia, white and red, enemy and friend, us and them. While the task seems clear he finds out the execution of his command in concrete situations is very difficult. Right choices turn out to be wrong ones and correcting them make things worse.

VIBE

A quiet, character-driven drama that grapples with the heavy weight of duty and the blurry lines of morality. It feels like a somber, introspective journey through a harsh landscape, where every choice has profound consequences.
