The Midwife
A midwife's forbidden love story... separated by war, joined by love at first sight.
Directed by Antti J. Jokinen
Produced by Solar Films
A melancholic wartime romance centered on a midwife's sacrifice and devotion, where love becomes an act of defiance against the brutality of conflict.
Helena has worked as a kind of midwife on the eve of the Lapland War. She wants to leave everything behind, and a suitable opportunity arises when she falls in love with a German-Finnish officer Johannes, who is leaving to German-led Titovka prison camp in the Soviet Union. Helena enlists into the camp as a nurse, where she experiences the brutality of war.
