The 25-year war between
Sweden-Finland and Russia is over

The new border between
the 2 kingdoms

was assigned to be marked
by 2 separate commissions

The first commission headed north

Their mission was to meet up with the other
commission far north by the Kiertämä River

They never made it

Border Contract

can we be forgiven.

11 days earlier

73.

73, what?

He had a hidden ax.

This is what peacetime does.

Damned maid of the Russians.
I'll kill him a second time.

He would have
done away with you next.

People are coming from Kaatamo.

Let's head up
to the top of the Valo fell.

Go to the beach and tell
the men that we're leaving fast.

Knut!

I put her in the cellar.

I'll take care of it.

I'll let her out, damn it.

Go to the beach!

Once there lived a czar

who wanted to build a new capital.

His architect asked him

what construction materials to choose.

The czar said, "An eternal city should be
made of gold".

The architect replied,

"The whole city of gold!? It's impossible".

The architect said,

"The best material would be

mud".

The czar was surprised.

"Oh, my God.

What is mud?"

The architect said that mud

is the trace of life.

It's a stamp

left by the life.

And our bodies

are made--

Are made

of it.

From the smallest

to the biggest one.

The czar was surprised and said

he had never heard of such a
unique and wonderful material.

So the czar gave the permission
to start building

the way the architect preferred.

So the architect started the construction.

What was the name of the city?

What city are you from?

- Ambush!
- Quick!

There are so many
Lithuanians in the north.

This is something worse.

- Let's move.
- You gentlemen are early.

- Wasn't their hospitality satisfying?
- Be quiet.

Are your peasants ready?

Landowner Ondrei Suurinen...

Do you swear by your poor soul...

Do you swear...

Come back.

...to give your soul as collateral for this
border so the rulers of Sweden and Russia

can trust your oath?

I swear.

Let's move.

We have to stop at the edge
of the Suuri swamp anyway.

Is somebody chasing you?

Home sickness. Don't you feel it?

He also hoped to find

a plant or an animal
that could be named after him.

I promised to check
his collection from today.

Don't get too close to Semenski. He is

more dangerous than he appears.

Russian tea.

Taste it.

There might be a position
for me in Stockholm.

Are you mad?

Are you?

I took you here with me for nothing.

You will return to Sweden,
despite everything.

If you want to get the professorate
at the department of geography,

you have to have
something new to show.

We're in the only corner of
uncharted land in the whole country.

After this trip, I can present
his majesty a map

which describes the whole large
kingdom that God has placed under him.

The trip across the Suuri swamp
will take about a day and a half.

Maybe 2 as we mark the border.

No one else
draws such beautiful maps.

Captain Musko says that he has
never seen a more beautiful map

than the one by the younger Mr. Spore.

We know that nobody lives
in this swamp.

Could we write in the contract

that the border runs straight across?

We would just go around the swamp.

The Royal Commission
has clear rules.

The border is to be marked verst
by verst as the instructions state.

Does it matter around here?

If the Baron is in a hurry
to get back to his estate to rot away,

should we just mark this
piece of crap swamp for Sweden?

We can set the border
to the east of the swamp.

Semenski understood that he has to

dirty up his fancy boots.

It works for us.

If Kaatamo wasn't on his coattails, they
would follow the horses around the swamp.

Take the horses and equipment
in advance to Päiväkivi.

We'll meet you
in 2 days at the latest.

Come back.

Damn it.

I was like a fish in water everywhere

before you brought me
those damn glasses from Stockholm.

You don't have to wear them.

Hindsight 20-20.

Gone is my former certainty.

If I wouldn't hear your voice,
I couldn't tell if it was you.

It is me.

I wonder if she lives here
with her dad by the 2 of them.

I wonder what happened to the mother.

What was on that shelf?

I don't remember.

People are excited now that the town
has been delivered from the Russians.

We didn't suffer
through the war for nothing.

Yes.

You do not remember,

but I just remembered
what this house is.

Religion is a private matter,

but the interest of the state is not.

What else have you hidden
other than your icons?

There is nothing left.

Erik, if you can't
find anything special...

I know

the half-Karelian pricks

living in these backwoods
and their ingratitude.

No, no!

Since 16 I fought this war that
has now been ended as too terrible.

I swear to you, you piece of shit,

that your daughter would not be the most
innocent patient I've delivered to the grave.

Where is your winter supply?

Is this it?

You're lying.

We will make a receipt for the overseer for
the food that the commission confiscated.

If you have such rights as these,
they were given by the devil in hell.

Check if you can find anything else.

One girl stays here.

You don't serve government officials
food that even a butt wouldn't eat.

Forgive me, lords.

We're not lords.

Fortunately we know how to take ours.

The tour that brought me and my brother
to your house has been a long one.

All the men are tired,

hungry

and waiting for it all to be over.

And far from home.

No one is as far from home as me.

Right.

Erik is in a very unpredictable mood.

You better stay here.

No.

No! Don't, no!

No, don't leave me here!

Come back!

You do not like the water.

You always carry a sword
when you're close to it.

Nobody likes water.

You and your brother
were born in Finland, right?

Have you ever seen this flower?

It's the sauna flower. Very common.

Fire also cleanses.

Almost anything.

What if hell is not a fiery furnace
beneath the continents?

What if it's just an unclean place
without the presence of God?

A time and place behind God's back?

Is your stomach upset?

- I'll be on my way.
- No, wait.

Serioga.

It's getting dark.

Is that... a human standing there?

I can't see that far.

I saw the daughter,

I thin k.

She's following us secretly.

It's not possible.

What did she say when she got out?

Nothing. Forget about it.

It's no use mourning over such traitors.

We've been walking here for 2 days.
Are we lost?

The compass does not lie.

Maybe you should have
waged war a little longer.

- If you're not happy with the border...
- Master Spore.

...it would have been fine with us.

You could have given up all of
Russia to Sweden while you were at it.

You would have gotten
a worship service

that doesn't resemble
a cheap carnival as much.

Captain Musko.

Oh, he understands something.

He had eyes.

Scar tissue.

Look at the paws.

Why would any dog
scratch his own eyes out?

The captain is frustrated.

He didn't get to prove his lack
of masculinity in the war.

No fear.

You can get some homosexual
action in peacetime, too.

All you need is the right company.

Allow me to remind you
that my brother doesn't qualify.

Calm down!

Captain Spore.

Glasses almost make you look
like a civilized person.

In reality you're an invalid,

who has lived far too long.

You are scared of peace,

because the end of war will take
away the justification for the murders

that you have on your head.

If we continue
along the river to the east,

we will reach Päiväkivi.

When I get home,

I will lock my door with my darling
and won't open it for a week.

Even if God himself comes for a visit.

What happened to me?

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!

Everything's fine.

Are you okay?

- What did you tell Musko?
- I saw the girl.

- That girl, real close.
- Knut.

- What did she say when you let her out?
- They're hallucinations.

She's not the same girl.

I didn't return there.

I never let her out,

We must turn back
and let the girl out.

We're almost there.

The Russians will hardly turn around.

When we get the horses at Päiväkivi,
I'm going back.

Before you make that mistake,

pull yourself together.

Who built that?
It's standing there all alone.

Glasses.

- Who runs things around here?
- Dad.

Go get him.

We knew that the war
still raged on in the south.

The war has been long.

It is over now.

We're the border commission
of their majesties

emperor of Russia
and king of Sweden.

What's the name of this place?

There is no knowledge of a village
on the north side in any documents.

We are not

on the north side,
we're in the middle.

Exactly in the middle of the swamp.

What's that?

A map.

You can see what the world looks
like in the eyes of God.

How about that?

A border roll.

It contains the information of border
villages and their tax collection.

Why?

So you can tell if you're
Swedish or Russian.

- Is the world big?
- There's plenty of it.

I've never been there, just here.

Boy, damn it.

To the wash.

- Who ordered them to be washed?
- They're dirty.

Erik.

- Weird kid.
- Not for this village.

Have you ever seen
such clean peasants?

We can get some grub from here
for the return trip.

I will not leave Pajari and his guys.
This village is integral for the border.

- There will be new wars.
- This filthy war was mine.

All its victims were useless,

if we give the Russians this area.

Bullshit. Drawing the border
isn't about reclaiming victims.

You're dreaming about the provinces
that were promised to us.

Damn it.

Semenski was right.

Damn it, I'm half blind.

I'm way too

old to practice

the only profession I know.

I want to be a better dad to my kids
than my dad was to us.

I'm going to get land for my family.

This is my last chance.

73.

I've done worse than left
a little girl in the cellar.

Not everybody has.

You can turn back right away.

Will you sign the border contract
on my behalf?

Knut,

the first thing

that a soldier learns
in the service of the king is to forget.

To forget?

You killed the girl's father.

I was defending my life and yours.

Did you see that ax?

No I didn't.

You've always been able
to learn in peace.

Far away from all of this.

At the same time

here in your homeland, young man,

we've waged war
starting every morning.

Now that you're finally here,

endure with me
until the end with honor.

I promise that I will not allow
anything bad to happen to you.

Ivan.

Semenski ordered to find you.

We got some food.

- Have the taxes been taken to Kajaani?
- Or to Salaminsk?

Nobody has asked for them.

At least you're Christians.

Are you Lutheran
or a part of the Church of Russia?

We have no priest.

We don't have a church so we don't have
a priest who would have decided it.

Who does the sauna belong to?

- Who built it?
- Screw the sauna.

Was it Sweden or Russia, damn it?

It might be quicker,
if the lords would decide that matter.

You ordered us to write down
the village's houses and population.

73 people.

It includes children, women,

the elderly,

everybody.

A huge amount of people.

Where are the
other kids of the village?

I'm the only one.

Sit down.

Sit down!

If you can tell us
how long this village has been here

and where you originally came from,

we will appoint you
a border journeyman.

We will create a nomination letter.

It doesn't get more official than that.

I don't know.

But if the lord promises
to take me with you when you leave...

Hell yes.

I know where there are such papers.

In there?

Go home so you won't get caught.

It's in Russian.

We should find out what it says.

Semenski must not find out
about what we found.

Go get the village elder.

I couldn't find the village elder.

Whose stuff is this, Roukkula?

I haven't seen it before.

Are you there?

Let me out and I'll tell you.

It's getting late.

You'll hang in there through the night.

We didn't touch them.

Did the Russian monks
build this poor village?

We found these dwellings
in the middle of the swamp.

We met none of the dwellers,
not then, not later.

All we found were empty cowls.
They were piled up here and there.

Some thought that
they had left their faith.

Some believe that someone took them.

Who is it

that people thin k took the monks?

Tell me.

Whisper, and you'll get out.

It's me.

Don't come too close.

It's hindsight.

Something bad will happen to us here,

- because you left the girl in the cellar.
- Why did you lock her in there?

To protect her from you.

So it was me who lusted
after that skinny,

breastless stick figure.
Whoop-de-do.

You thought about how it would feel

to rape the hell out of
a young girl like that.

That is the dirty truth, which the honored
professor wanted to lock up in there.

Is it ever worth letting
such a thought out of there?

Have you seen our girl?

So the boy is a girl?

She doesn't have
much company her age.

She pretends to be a boy at times.

What the hell?

Semenski.

Captain?

She is perfect.

Save your souls.

We found this in our cabin.

Is there something in it?
I don't know, it's in Russian.

I understand. I will tell you.

Since we can't figure this out, we decided
that the border will go through the village.

The sauna will be an official border mark.

The coats of arms of the kingdoms
will probably be put on the wall.

Come with me.

- Only the leaders.
- Wait.

In the old village the guerillas
from either side came,

robbed everything and did worse.

So you found peace
in the heart of the swamp?

No. We found something else.

Since the day we moved here,

none of us have really dared to live

or die.

Our girl was born on the way here.

She's the last

child born in the village.

I still don't understand.

Superstition.

In Finland, newborns
are bathed in the sauna.

Same thing with the deceased.

It's done to wash away the past

and old sins.

Roukkula dug out his eyes at home.

What for?

He had already chewed his tongue
into small pieces.

Musko said that Rogosin
used his wrist for an in k bottle.

What do these say?

Rogosin seems to thin k
that he's been locked in a cellar.

Like a small child.

Rogosin drinks his own blood,
because he's afraid.

What is he afraid of?

There's someone else in the cellar.

Rogosin fears
that they will notice him.

That's it.

There used to be a monastery
here that belonged

to the Russian Church.

It's more surprising

that the sauna
might have been here before that.

The monks found it in the middle of the
swamp and built the monastery next to it.

Something made them thin k that
all sins could be forgiven in the sauna

without an apology

and without prayer.

A monk writes,

"Maybe it isn't a sauna.

It looks like one to us,

because we don't
understand what it is."

Why are you afraid of it?

The sauna.

Those pieces of glass on your nose,

what's their purpose?

They help me see better.

The light refracts

like in the water.

That's what my brother said.

My little brother.

He's been the one glimmer
of light in our family.

You have to take care of him then.

See, darkness doesn't refract,

it twists you.

Our family is small.

In my brother it would have had

a leader,

who would have been better suited for
the work that remains in this country.

Or so I hoped.

Now I only ask that I could
return him to Sweden in full health.

Could you do something to this?

Wounds will heal at the place
where they happened.

You should just have returned.

Is it too late now?

His mother was from Karelia.

Just like my mom.

It's an obstacle for a career.

Small Ivan was only 10 years old

when he snitched on his own mother.

She became the first witch.

She was burned alive

on the square in Vyborg.

Ivan mostly cared
about the state business.

Give me your best shot.
Erik Antinpoika Spore is here.

I know how many you are.

I've counted every one of you.

I'm not that stupid!

On the last day I will be
pulled into the abyss, but not yet.

I can save somebody, goddamn it!

Come on, all of you

at the same time!

I'm not like my brother.

I know what is fiction and what is real.

Where have you been?

I'll leave with you tomorrow.

Let's get the girl out of there.

I'll figure things out with Semenski

first thing in the morning.

But, Knut,

maybe it's already too late.

The exact amount of dead
that I have on my conscience...

It could be that we have to
count that poor girl in.

74.

Exactly.

Are you sitting on
Semenski's plant collection?

The new samples were still moist.

I promised to sit on them for weight.

Well, tomorrow they'd
better be ready, damn it.

Border Contract

I wish the border contract to be
delivered to Päiväkivi as it stands

without scratching the parchment
or altering anything.

Captain Spore.

We move on behalf of powers

that do not move at all.

Only occasionally they

let their borders be redrawn by blood,
when they've gotten tired of the old ones.

Then on behalf of poor Rogosin.

- You speak about God, and you yourself...
- No.

I'm speaking about Sweden and Russia.

It would be fairest if each party
takes their share

of this horrible swamp.

But...

We happen to know that you've withheld
a document concerning this village.

For that reason alone we've decided to
write into the border contract

that this area belongs in its entirety

to you.

I believe that the state of Russia

is a lot greater without this area.

My brother keeps
his signet ring in his luggage.

I'll bring what is needed,
if I can't reach the man himself.

Knut.

75.

If the Swede doesn't come soon,

we'll leave without him.

There is an excerpt here
that worries me.

The excerpt that I have not translated
for the Swedish.

He writes that he is sorry he had
no courage to kill us all.

Rogosin writes that tomorrow
will be too late.

Tomorrow we'll see what God
would not want to see.

Tomorrow?

Yes.

He wrote his will yesterday.

So tomorrow

means today.

Don't look.

Quiet, Vassily Yermolaevich.

You are like a father to me.

In this middle of nowhere
you are my only family.

I am grateful
for everything you did for me.

But the person with whom I want
to spend eternity

asked me to do something
I will always regret,

That's why we are standing here.

This is the highest price
he can ask of me.

Can you talk?

Have you seen my brother?

He's not your brother anymore.

- It takes everyone with it.
- Into the sauna?

Block the windows.

I'm writing in the border contract
that the swamp belongs to Russia.

In the Russian copy
it has been assigned to Sweden.

I don't want anyone
to come here anymore.

The future has its back towards us.

Only what has been done
can be faced eye to eye.

Only in that

can we be forgiven.

They're good.

Collect all the food you can find
and put it in that backpack.

- There's food in here.
- Good.

Find yourself warm clothing
and pack it in.

But the lord is coming, as well?

I'm not a lord.

Keep heading towards the north.

Sooner or later you will
find your way out of the swamp.

There's a river north of the swamp.

Follow the river to the east
until you see a tall ridge.

You can see it from afar.
It's called Päiväkivi.

There's people there. They're waiting.
Give them the whole shit.

They will take you far from here.

Erik.

The purpose is

that you will get away from here.

That's why I can't come along.

I'll distract him.

My life can buy you some time.

It's a very good deal.

In the south,

go to St. Olaf's Castle.

Ask for the captain's wife.

Tell my wife that

you have been promised a seat
next to the porridge cauldron.

And the name of Spore

for good reason.

Tell her that in your eyes

the last glance from her husband
arrives home.

Keep heading north.

It's me.

Sit down.

No glasses.

- I can see clearly in here.
- As it should be.

I want to show you something.

I... apologize to you.

- I want to see.
- Erik.

Don't worry.

It's me.

My beloved...
