Synopsis
Set in 1918 during the Finnish civil war, the red socialists are fighting against white bourgeois. An intelligent and strong woman, red army fighter Miina Malin manages to escape from capture by the whites. White soldier Aaro catches her again, but unlike other soldiers, he does not want to kill her--he wants to take her to a fair trial. The meeting of Aaro and Miina binds two strong human stories together and sparks an edgy love story in the midst of the horrors of civil war.
