Description

The overwhelming Soviet army ceaselessly stormed tiny Finland’s borders with a massed artillery, a powerful air force and a well-armed infantry army for 105 days during the Soviet invasion of 1939-40. What gave the defenders of the small nation the strength to hold back an awesome enemy in the face of countless odds?

The Winter War is the first film made about his epic struggle; recounting the war form the soldiers’ point of view, letting us experience the brutality of daily life in the trenches. The screenplay, based on Antti Tuuri’s book Talvisota, is a dignified tribute to the tenacious Finnish heroes who preserved their country’s independence.
