- TriviaThe shoot took over a year to complete in and near the deserted village of Kätkäjärvi, which was located roughly eight miles from the nearest real road in Kittilä. Although the village was accessible by off-road vehicle during warmer months and by horse-drawn sleigh in the winter, the crew mostly walked to the location. The crew had no real electricity so generators were used for power.

Featured review
Simply superb movie by late Rauni Molberg based on book of same name by Timo K. Mukka. Story set on poor rural region in western Lapland some years after Continuation War. Especially dialog is on level of its own and this film uses not so well know local dialect of border region between Finland and Sweden in Lapland. This movie has caused fair share of controversies be chose it show how the things really were during time (and quite some time after that) and place it depicts. Upon its 1974 release, it was the most widely attended film in Finnish film history. I can not comprehend why master piece like this is on limited distribution by Finnish National film Board. One can only hope that now when esteemed Mr Molberg has passed on his master piece can finally receive wider distribution
