Set in September of 1944, a few days before Finland pulled out of the Second World War, this movie (made in 2002) features three main characters and a very [[Locked in Aa Room|unusual twist on a trope]].
 
The paths of a runaway Finnish sniper (Veikko) and a condemned Soviet captain (Ivan) accidentally converge at the farm of a [[wikipedia:Sámi|Sámi]] woman (Anni). None of the three [[Fun Withwith Foreign Languages|speaks the others' languages]] (Finnish, Sami and Russian), and the men are hostile toward each other. To the woman, however, they are not enemies - just men.

Line 8:
* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]: For almost the entire duration of the movie; it's worth watching for this alone, as it's done very well.
* [[Entertainingly Wrong]]: For just one example, when Anni tells {{spoiler|her sons about their fathers}} she doesn't know {{spoiler|that Ivan was the one who shot Veikko}}.
* [[Fun Withwith Foreign Languages]]
* [[Locked in Aa Room]]: Without meaningful conversation!
* [[MacGyvering]]: Veikko is chained to a rock, and frees himself with creative use of his minimal supplies.
* [[Women Are Wiser]]
