1944 The Final Defence
Directed by Åke Lindman
Produced by Åke Lindman Film-Production
A grim, historically grounded war drama depicting Finnish soldiers facing overwhelming Soviet forces during a pivotal WWII battle, told through multiple interconnected perspectives.
The Soviet army breaks through the Finnish defences on the Karelian Isthmus in June 1944, advancing with overwhelming force. Somehow, the Finnish troops must find the strength to fight back, with all odds against them. The Battle of Tali-Ihantala was the largest battle ever fought in the history of the Nordic countries. This film depicts the true events through five separate stories.
