Finland, 1944.—Ever since the taciturn veteran soldier Aatami has turned his back on war, he’s been roaming Lapland’s barren landscape with his dog. One day, he finds a gigantic lump of gold, which the marauding Nazis he bumps into also want for themselves. A battle for life and death ensues. The word SISU can probably best be translated as endurance or tenacity. It describes a character trait the Finns like to see as a national particularity, a quality that allows the protagonist of Jalmari Helander’s glorious action juggernaut to go apeshit on Nazis, Suomi Rambo-style.
