Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Liisa, a young nurse returns to a remote island where she has spent the summer leaves in her youth. She soon gets to know some of the regular residents on the island, Pekka and Paula. During the summer party the underlying tensions mount.
