Raja

Sini and I watched a Finish movie - Raja (= Border). Finland decleared its independence in the 6th of December 1917. After that there was a pretty bloody civil war - brother against brother, white against red, socialist against non-socialist... The movie is a story of an important part of the aftermath of Finish Civil War of the year 1918 - of the time to create the border against Russia - against the birthing of the Soviet Union, against the communism... The whole is somehow a multidimensional love triangle of two men and one woman, men are politically on different sides... two or three ideologies get more or less intermingled, three countries - Russia, Finland and Germany - are parts in the story... and of course it the whole is a part of the aftermath of the First World War... Exceptionally fine movie.

Music continues as normal.
