Movie Info
During rough times in the hardscrabble countryside of northern Sweden, 9-year-old Elina (Natalie Minnevik) returns to school after a long illness. Elina's strict new teacher (Bibi Andersson) insists the defiant girl speak Swedish instead of the Finnish of her impoverished ethnic group. Elina finds refuge from the conflict by going out to the moors and communing with her dead father -- until the night the moors turn deadly and Elina must face her own demons.

Having spent the weekend watching Finnish films, this was probably the best and a good introduction to the world of films ala Scandinavia. Like most Finnish films it's a dense yet gentle character study with some surprisingly good acting by the children and a simple plot. A worthy watch before Hollywood get hold of it and remake it in Alcatraz during a nuclear war with terminators or heroin addicts or something.
