The Cuckoo

“She's Making Peace One Man at a Time.”

In September 1944, a few days before Finland drops out of the Second World War, a Finnish sniper named Veikko (Ville Haapasalo) works himself loose from the rock he was chained to. A Soviet captain, Ivan (Viktor Bychkov), has escaped the secret police. Aleksandr Rogozhkin leaves the two soldiers with no shared language at the farm of Anni (Anni-Kristiina Juuso), a Lapp woman who sees two men and not two enemies.
