A Shakespearian drama from icy Finland. Reminiscent of Dostoyevsky's novel, "The Brothers Karamazov": the story displays an epic, classical character in a very readable format. This is pure escapism - a family drama with a happy ending.
Synopsis
Finland, 1809. Henrik and Erik are brothers who fought on opposite sides in the war between Sweden and Russia. With peace declared, they both return to their snowed-in farm. But who is the master? Sexual tensions, old grudges, family secrets: all come to a head in this dark and gripping saga.
