The Winter War
They held back the Russian Juggernaut in a frozen Hell!
Directed by Pekka Parikka
Produced by National-Filmi
A grim, historically grounded war drama following Finnish brothers defending their homeland against Soviet invasion, balancing intimate human bonds with the brutality of combat.
After Nazi Germany invades Poland in September 1939, Russia attacks Finland two months later. Finnish reservists leave home and go to war. Brothers Martti and Paavo Hakala, farmers from the municipality of Kauhava in the province of Pohjanmaa/Ostrobothnia, serve in a Finnish platoon.
