Lapland War (2026)

Lapin sota

Director: Aku Louhimies

Cast: Peter Franzén, Sannah Nedergård, Volker Bruch

Young soldier Heikki braves the frozen frontlines of the Karelian Isthmus with his comrade Pauli by his side. When Arvo, a man freshly freed from prison, joins their unit, his unconventional outlook on war and loyalty shakes the ranks. A brief ceasefire sparks dreams of home, but hope shatters as Finland is forced to take up arms against its former German allies in Lapland. Meanwhile, in Rovaniemi, Saara—a translator for the German forces—faces a heart-wrenching choice: remain in Finland or escape to Germany with Major Duisberg, the man she loves.
