    • Quotes

      Mellola: About Jokinen. It would be fine to shoot him - but there's no-one else to run the machine at the sawmill. This winter's logs are still uncut, and there's life after this also.

      Yllön isäntä: Fine, if it's like that. We'll give him forced labor.

      Mellola: If I find another man, shoot him then.

    A good movie that shows how Finland evolved through war and conflict

    A good portrayal of a family through turbulent and hard times from late 19th century up to end of 2nd world war. Sad tales of families trying to do their best under tough and often exploitive situations. Good to view if you want a. Taste of Finnish history.
