DramaWar

It is the summer of 1941 and the Finnish army has been mobilized along the border with Russia. A platoon led by Lt. Eero Perkola is waiting for orders to go on the offensive. The platoon receives orders for a recon mission through the wilderness around the Lieksa lake to search for possible Russian defensive positions.

VIBE

A stark, unflinching look at the brutal realities of war. It feels cold, quiet, and dangerous, with moments of intense, sudden violence. The focus is on the weary stoicism of soldiers facing overwhelming odds.
