Mother of Mine

In 1943, nine-year-old Eero (Topi Majaniemi) is sent from Finland to Sweden, one of thousands of children moved away from the war after his father is killed. His foster mother, Signe (Maria Lundqvist), was expecting a girl and still grieves her own daughter, who drowned in the sea. Klaus Härö sets the two of them in the same house, Eero lost and silent, Signe cold and turned away, the sea close by.
