The Unknown Soldier
It is the summertime of 1941. An eastern-Finnish gatling gun company gets an order to turn in their surplus equipment. The company is moved to the front lines. The next morning the soldiers wake to the noise of guns - the battle has actually started. The Finnish troops strike and also rapidly move across the boundary. The young, anxious novices of the company obtain their baptism of fire, as well as the men become aware of fatality and the difficulties of battle. Under strength and also severely outfitted they fight a remarkable enemy. The lists of heroes as well as of the dead seem unlimited. Edvin Laine's impressive interpretation of Väinö Linna's battle novel "Tuntematon Sotilas" is an entire phase in guide of Finnish motion picture history.
