Sisu at GFT

Friday 26 May – Thursday 1 June , 2023
Captions and audio description available
From Jalmari Helander, director of Rare Exports and Big Game, Sisu is a bloody Second World War action epic that pits one hard-to-kill Finn against Nazi soldiers in Lapland.
After a solitary prospector strikes gold in the wilderness, he runs into a retreating detachment of Nazi soldiers who set their sights on claiming the bounty. Unfortunately for the stormtroopers, this is no ordinary miner, but a mythic one-man army epitomizing the quintessential Finnish concept of ‘sisu’ – white-knuckled courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds.
