Mikko Niskanen's directorial debut, based on the 1958 book by Paavo Rintala, maps so-called Continuation War in Finland as seen through the eyes of a gang of boys from Oulu. Their spirit, curiosity and desire for adventure cause their original admiration for war heroes to gradually change into a loss of illusions about life. (Summer Film School)
