beautiful

Its lovely simplicity is the main virtue. It is a love story and portrait of hard fight for survive. It. Inspired photography, good performances, noble message and correct definition of beginning, it is just a beautiful film.

A film that can reach your inner soul ...

A movie about real people, falling in love during the war, putting their own values ahead of parental judgments. No glamour just real struggles and hard work when two peole have a common goal and have a fullfilling life together no matter what.Beautiful scenes of intimate relashionships between husband and wife, father and daughter, sisters and a great moment when the mother reaches out to her daughter's wrongful husband when she realizes the strength of their authentic love and gives him hope to win her back. We learn a lot of what it is to live in wartime in Finland. I compare this film to " A hidden life" and "Testament of youth". This film is incredibly comforting. An excellent choice.
