Фильм посвящен финским солдатам, сражавшимся в "Зимней войне" и оборонявших линию Манергейма. Литературный классик Антти Туури, сочинивший сюжет для фильма «Зимняя война», не прогадал. Режиссер Пекки Парикк снял батальный эпос о событиях зимней войны 39-40 годов. Фильм вышел на экраны в 1989-м, и по сути стал самым кассовым финским фильмом года. Будет любопытен любителям исторических фильмов про войну, особенно интересен взгляд "с другой стороны".
Based on a novel of the same name by the Finnish author, Antti Tuuri, this delicious late-80's comedy builds its dark humour on the stereotypical mentality of the northern part of Finland. While perhaps not as entertaining to a person unfamiliar with Finnish traditions, the brilliant acting, directing, plus the warm, beautiful Finnish summer more than make up for the cultural gap.The story begins with a group of brothers with their families coming up to honour the memory of their recently deceased father. Spending time together, opening old wounds and creating new ones... it all boils down to brotherhood. No matter what happens, brothers take care of their own.

Screenplay
In the punk rock era of the late 1970s three restless teenagers, two boys and a girl, spend their time in and out of a special class for problem kids. Jussi seldom sees his parents at home, so he is free to indulge in petty crimes, pranks, and getting drunk with his friend Pete. Jussi falls in love with equally rebellious classmate Lissu (Aki Kaurismäki's favourite actress Kati Outinen in her debut role), but the lovers' plan to run away together fails dramatically.
