Original subtitles

The New York stock market had crashed.

The whole western world had drifted into economic depression and mass unemployment.

Stalin had invited workers around the world

to help build the Soviet Union, the workers' paradise.

More than 10,000 people had left the United States and Canada

for a better life in the promised land.

More than 6,000 of them are American Finns.

This is their story.

Kauhava, Finland, 1931

Hep, hep!

Good.

Sam!

Yeah.

Rrrrr... Rrr.

Arvo, how did you whistle?

Good.

I heard so many stories about Jussi Ketola

that I didn't know which one was true.

Something to walk away.

Aino!

The fascists in Finland said he was a communist.

But, I knew he was not.

He had become a socialist in the United States

and believed in the same principles as we did.

Liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Others said...

He fought against the Reds in the Finnish's Civil War.

I, I didn't believe that either.

Jussi was a pacifist.

He never hurt a soul.

I liked him the moment I met him...

when he came to stay with us at Hopea.

I liked how he spoke about his family.

About his wife, Sofia, and his children.

You're not asleep?

I am.

And what I know to be true is that he worried about them.

And how they would manage without him.

Sleep.

Stay here and keep quiet.

What are you doing here in the middle of the night?

Fatherland Affairs.

Can't it wait until daytime?

Time to go now.

You're not taking anyone from here!

Shame on you!

Sofia, let it be.

Just call the police.

- Father! - Let go.

There is nothing to worry about.

They're not gonna hurt me.

They're just putting on a show.

Let's go!

Let me at least get some clothes!

Don't... Goddammit!

Shut up, you fucking communist!

We're putting you on the Eternal Road.

To the Soviet Union.

Isn't that where you want to go?

To be with your kind.

THE ETERNAL ROAD

Border zone!

If he moves, shoot him.

- It's a business as usual. - Can't allow it anymore.

You can't allow patriotism?

The Ministry of the Interior has banned the transport across the border.

This is the will of the people.

What's your name?

Why do you care?

The police will ask me later.

Shut up!

So this is what a traitor of the nation looks like?

We can't take him back.

We'd better kill him here.

You'll have the blood of an innocent man on your hands.

- Shut up. - Listen.

I'm not a communist.

I never fought against the Whites or the Reds, but I am against killing...

Shut up!

The Finnish state does not know anything about this either.

Do you want to die here or in the bog, so we don't have to dig you a grave?

You're the ones doing the killing.

There's no difference to me.

Karvinen.

Kill the animal.

I don't think I can shoot him...

Go after him!

Stop! Stop!

This is the border guard area!

Stop! Stop!

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS

Welcome to the Soviet Union,...

Comrade Ketola.

Kallonen, from the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs.

Petrozavodsk, Soviet Union

How are they treating you here?

Do you need anything?

Quite well.

Paper and pen. To write home to let them know I'm alive.

Of course.

We, at the NKVD, have only heard good things about you.

You are a workers' friend.

A house in Finland.

Bought it with the money you earned in America.

A wife and two children.

You're a good man.

I try to be.

Did you bring any messages from Finland?

- What messages? - A mail...

to the Soviet Union.

No, I don't have any messages.

Are you sure?

You didn't bring anything?

Just...

a bullet in my side and my long johns.

That's good.

We want to help you...

to make it here.

All I want...

is to return home.

It would be refreshing to see someone leave.

Many have come here of their own free will.

Workers all over the world today believe in the Soviet Union.

Right.

If you need anything, anything at all,...

do not hesitate to...

ask for me.

Kallonen... is the name.

My dear wife Sofia,

... tell Arvon that he is the man of the house till I return.

- Your loving husband, Jussi. - Ketola! Is Jussi Ketola there?

Damn, it is him.

Ketola, you dog! I don't believe it.

- Max. - In the flesh, brother.

Collecting old debts. You still owe me three bucks.

What's the interest over 20 years? Forget it, this is worth it.

Look, you're on the front page.

I brought you some clothes.

How did...

Are they feeding you with this?

What the heck are you doing here?

Building a socialist paradise in Karelia.

You are gonna love this place.

Kidnappings in Finland continue

I told them we used to work together in New York.

Steel monkeys on skyscrapers.

I've got a job for you already.

What job? I'm not staying.

Don't worry about that now.

Well.

There's more money here than in New York.

Trust me, Jussi.

- Enough for you too. - Yeah, right.

I'm going home as soon as I get this mess sorted out.

Well.

But, you are not leaving tonight.

We have our own shops, an opera house, you name it.

Well, it's not a 5th Avenue yet.

But, you'll get used to it.

Experts have come from Canada.

They've brought tools,...

machines, cars, tractors, you name it.

The Americans run the farms, the timberjacks got the forest farms.

- How many Finns are there here? - Thousands, tens of thousands!

Many workers have responded to Stalin's call.

Don't you understand, Jussi? They're building the workers' paradise.

Some Finns from Ontario, Canada, brought a whole factory along.

How are you, Comrade?

This place is for people like us. It's like a private club.

Is everyone supposed to be equal here?

Stalin promised us these privileges in return of our help.

This paper gets you into the restaurant and buys you stuff in the Party shop.

What Party?

Where the hell do you think we are? It's the Communist Party.

- I'm not a member. - Well, who the hell is?

Think about what an opportunity we have here.

- Darling. - Darling.

I'll be there in two seconds.

And now, Jussi, a toast to the homeland.

I'll get you your own flat tomorrow.

- Don't waste your time. - Do you want the Fascists in Finland?

I wrote home that I'll be back soon.

Never talk about leaving out loud.

Why not?

What's the rush?

Let's get you some more vodka.

The border is 250 km away.

Come on, Jussi. Let's close the deal.

Whoa, whoa!

Ah-hah!

Whoa, whoa!

The Karelian Yanks take the lead...

Here comes the next pitch.

I thought Jussi might be interested...

in American sports.

Tell me, could this become the new national sport of the Soviet Union?

I don't think so.

It reminds me a little too much of the game the thugs played back home.

The Karelian Yanks to increase the lead...

Jussi, come see me in the Big House tomorrow at 2 o'clock.

What for?

To talk about history.

We know you fought on the side of the Whites in 1918.

- Forced at gunpoint. - Even so.

You may be the only one in the Soviet Union...

who fought against the Reds.

- Like I said, I was forced. - Mmm.

I was hauling off bodies others had made.

Did they also force you to write to Comrade Strang to America...

before he came here?

Was it then when you agreed on this spying assignment?

Are you serious?

I know, you talked and had dinner with Strang.

Do you know what I ate?

No, I don't.

But, I can easily find out.

You can be sure of that.

Whoa, whoa!

A complicated game.

I like the simpler games.

Tomorrow, Big House, at two o'clock.

Now, Moscow comes to pitch.

Pitched by Moscow Dynamo number 14...

"My dear wife, Sofia,"

"I wrote this letter in a hospital in Petrozavodsk."

"After those men abducted me in the middle of the night..."

Blah, blah, blah.

The letter you sent to Finland...

It's under investigation.

- It didn't get to Finland? - You're not authorized to write abroad.

You are under surveillance.

Our decipherers have cracked the code.

Now, you might as well confess.

Confess to what?

You were sent here by the Finnish Secret Police.

The whole thing about the abduction was just a play.

We're building the Soviet Union here.

And it has enemies everywhere.

Spies from America have been sent here along with workers...

And they are looking for our weak spots.

You speak English.

That doesn't make me a spy.

No.

But, it'll help you prove that you are not our enemy.

This is really insane.

We want to know what the Americans are saying...

and who are saying it.

I've already told them you're coming.

We agreed I could return to Finland.

We haven't agreed anything.

If you want to go back to your family, you must prove that you are on our side.

This is not my passport.

It is now.

Jussi Ketola does not exist in the Soviet Union.

Jussi Kari does.

From now on,...

you go to where I tell you to go...

and you do what I tell you to do.

What gave them the idea that we're spies?

- Well are you? - Of course not.

Well, then there are no problems.

Hell, I have not seen this before, not even from Kallonen.

Don't you know that the Soviet passport is a very valuable document?

Well.

There will be less trouble for you...

if you play along with them.

Tell them a few good stories.

What kind of stories?

The kind that keep them happy.

So they get to write their reports.

- Jussi Kari! - Hmm.

Kari Jussi.

It's a good and short name.

Sikari Jussi.

East Karelia, Soviet Union

John Hill.

COLLECTIVE FARM HOPEA

WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE

Here he is.

Jussi Kari.

Little something from Kallonen.

Settle down, settle down.

Sit down.

My wife, Martha.

- Welcome. - Thank you.

Come sit down.

You can sit with us.

We shall pray.

The light of Christ...

is the light of our day.

You enlight our heart.

The body of Christ is our bread.

You nourish our spirit.

Maybe, the big shots from the Petrozavodsk who don't like this, but...

there can't be any socialism without Christ.

- Am I right? - Sure.

Here is Simon.

- Pipi. - Jussi.

- And Kulpi. - Jussi.

- And Maki. - Jussi.

And this is our pride and Joy.

- Laina. - Jussi.

She's 28 already.

- Martha. - What?

Jussi, come.

The Soviet Union is a good country.

This is our corner here.

Hopea.

This land is developing, and production is growing all the time.

We are prospering.

Everything you need is here.

You hear?

- Yeah. - Mmm-mmm.

Danes, Swedes, lots of Americans.

But most of them understand Finnish.

We're always building something, to be able to house all the people.

Lots of workers will be coming here for harvest time.

This is a bit modest.

That's okay.

We know why they sent you here.

You can tell them whatever you want.

I'm not going to tell them anything.

No need to worry about that.

Well, you do as your conscience tells you.

It's only five o'clock.

Barn-workers are the only ones who get here this early.

Well, I can go back to my room and wait.

Don't take any trouble for me.

Men always say that.

But, they never mean it.

Coffee?

Please.

Thank you.

Don't tell anyone.

Coffee is usually reserved for Sundays.

Hhh-hhh.

I promise.

You didn't clap your hands yesterday.

Doing grace.

Don't you believe in Christ?

Does everyone who claps their hands believe?

Drink up before the others get here.

That one is mine.

Ella promised.

How can you recognize it?

They all look the same.

No, they don't.

They're all different, and the prettiest one is mine.

He's called Joseph.

And that one, Vladimir?

No.

It doesn't have a name.

Is your father dead?

Yes.

What was his name?

Gustavus.

My father's name was Matias.

He's dead too.

Would you like to dance?

Virginia's rum.

We've heard you've been doing well.

The Yankees are pleased.

Glad to hear it.

Now, just tell me what they're doing here.

It will help you as well.

We've been sawing wood.

Is there any anti-party activity?

Yes, if the Party is against work.

What did they say about the Soviet Union?

Who leads the agitation?

Hill?

I have no idea.

There's a pig in the sty called Joseph.

Its actions are somewhat suspicious.

Of course, I'll keep it under surveillance

So, do I report directly to you?

If I offended you...

I'm Takesy.

Yes.

Hill!

Hill.

How do you know Hill?

I fixed his family up with papers when they first came.

Fix me up with papers that will allow me to go home.

I can't do that.

Who can?

Forget it.

Don't you understand my whole life is there.

I can not stay here.

Ketola, over here!

Beer for Johnny!

Leeway!

More chairs.

- Chairia Lisaa! - John Hill.

John Hill.

And here's the son of a bitch they wrote about in the paper.

Real hero at Uni old mine.

Looks like we won't be returning to Hopea tonight.

Sure, we will.

What was your name again?

Hey, what is your name?

Ketola.

Oh, yeah, Ketola. The real hero.

So, please.

- I'll get back with you. - Okay.

- I have a serious business with him. - Yeah, I know.

He's building a home for his family in Hopea.

Oh.

Hey, you!

Who are you?

- Stop now! - Hey, stop!

Stop immediately!

Do you see him?

Be quiet!

Hill!

Kallonen is coming.

Jussi!

Are you going mad?

Ketola, great!

Sit down!

Hey, boys, just play cool.

Hey, everybody!

Kallonen and I...

Kallonen and us have exactly the same goals.

And now, Jussi Ketola.

Nothing's gonna stop this revolution.

We are building a working class-led society.

And it will not work unless everyone follows the rules.

You hear?

Towards a better world now.

Where liberty, fraternity and justice will come true.

Of course, Kallonen has to keep an eye on us,

so that the greed will not take over.

You can bet your ass

that capitalists will try to sabotage our system.

Jussi.

It's as simple as this.

You need to get yourself a wife.

I already have a wife.

Jussi Ketola had a wife.

Stop escaping.

If I'm free, I don't need to escape.

Take it and eat it.

This is a flesh of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Take it and eat it.

This is a flesh of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Take it and drink it.

This is the blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

- Come on. - Come on!

Greetings from Kallonen.

He asked me to bring this to you.

- What is this? - Death certificate.

Jussi Ketola died...

of injuries from Fascists in Petrozavodsk.

The copy was sent to Finland...

to your family.

Kallonen asked me to tell you that if you try to escape again...

he'll send you more death certificates.

Let it be.

Don't.

It's my turn.

There.

All right.

Let's do the other side.

- Turn around. - No.

You think I haven't seen a man naked before?

Your children...

What are their names?

Aino...

and Arvo.

Nice Finnish names.

Tell me about them.

Well...

They are horrible, of course.

They don't get that, to listen anything any more.

And they don't never ever...

shut up.

They think you're dead.

I saw the paper.

I don't like it.

It's not right.

Write to them that you are alive.

I am not allowed to.

Why not?

Kallonen thinks I am a spy.

Are you?

I'd much rather be home than here spying on nothing.

I guess so.

Dear Sofia Ketola,

I'm writing to you to let you know that your husband is alive.

No.

Please, let Aino and Arvo know that their father is thinking of them.

I'm sure he'll do everything in his power...

to return to you one day.

Hopea, Martha Hill.

- Yes? - A little bit higher.

Yes. Okay.

Kari!

They need you in the city.

Sign it.

It's in Russian. I don't understand a word.

You know that American spies work at the farms

- instead of honest Russians. - I do not know.

It's common knowledge.

We have several signed testimonies.

So what do you need my signature for?

Here we put spies to hard labor.

Forced labor is in fashion at the White Sea Canal.

Do you want to join them?

I was brought here against my will.

And now you want to transport me...

Shut up!

Comrade, Major.

I think I've been a good boy and done as told.

- Jussi... - But I'm not going to sign that paper.

No matter what.

This was not a good idea.

No signature.

But we both know who wrote it.

But no one needs to know.

I did you a favor here.

And now, it's your turn to return the favor.

I uh...

Well, spit it out, Finn.

I bought these for Mary.

They're from Canada.

She needs a pair, right?

She does.

Very nice.

Just to thank you.

Yeah?

For taking care of me.

You need a hand?

Sure.

These are the three Imagy.

Some, or they will be.

At least, three wise men around here.

Do you love my mother?

What?

Should we put the red star up on the top?

Will you want to wear a dead man's suit?

Yeah.

It belonged to my father.

Here... Let me help you.

So, you think it's ready?

- Yeah. - Hhh-hhh.

He has a wive and children in Finland.

He's another woman's husband.

If there is anything I've learned in this world...

is that nothing is permanent.

"In the cold and darkness,

"they walked along the street.

"Poor little girl...

"Barehead...

"and with naked feet.

"When she left home, she had slippers on.

"It is true.

Good to see that you have your appetite back, Kari.

Mmm-Hmm.

That's good.

You need your strentgh to report to the big boss.

Okay.

Okay gentlemen,

I'm going to call it off.

Stay put, Laina.

I'll go.

You're asleep?

Yeah.

I came to light your candles.

Now someone will need to watch over them.

So it won't start the fire.

Should you stay?

Yeah.

You know how to pull out in time?

Yeah.

When are you leaving?

Mary is fond of you.

If you hurt her,...

I'll kill you.

"All things were made through Him."

"In Him was light..."

"And the light was the light of man."

Autumn 1932

"The light shines in the darkness,"

"and the darkness has not overcome."

Pauli, I'm baptizing you in the name of Father, and Son, and the Holy Spirit.

See that, Mary. I didn't tell you.

Beautiful, eh?

Spring 1936

Look closely.

Summer 1937

- Barley. - Good.

The barley bends to the right, wheat to the left.

A spy has been caught in Matroosa.

A saboteur.

During the interrogation, the man confessed...

that he got a ride here to Hopea...

and he has been living here since last autumn.

I speak for all of us.

I can swear that we know nothing about any such man.

No one could hide here unnoticed for so long.

The man confessed. And signed a statement.

Who would have hidden him here?

The man's description matches you the best.

- That's impossible. - No.

I have records here of every person who's ever stayed here!

Take a good look. Is this the man you were hiding?

Why are you telling such lies?

I broke down...

after they beat me for days.

No one asked you anything. We're asking the people of Hopea.

Why do you want to drag Hopea into this?

We have reliable information

that Mäki was was brought from Hopea

to meet with the American spies.

Isn't that so, Jussi Kari?

- Not true. - You're both lying!

You are lying! Kallonen is lying!

Better confess now. Mäki has already confessed.

Put him in the car!

We have records, reliable records!

Everything's fine. Don't worry.

Oh!

- Get a blanket. - Yeah.

Keep the kids inside.

- Murder has to be reported. - Yes.

She saw it from the window of the laundry room.

- She can testify. - Testify to who?

To the authorities.

Kallonen and GPU are the authorities.

- Then we speak to the embassy people. - Yeah.

I'm afraid the U.S. embassy doesn't have control over the GPU.

Spoken like a true stooge.

You've been taken orders from them all along.

- Yeah. - And you are blind.

They don't give a shit about what you think is right...

and what you believe in.

- We didn't come here to be slaves. - That's right.

- We know. - If there's someone among us

who doesn't believe

that killing is a punishable act,

- they don't belong here. - Yeah.

We have to take a vote.

- Who wants to report the murder. - I do.

- You're not going anywhere. - It was a murder.

It has to be reported.

He wasn't the first person Kallonen had shot.

It might not be the last if we don't put an end to it.

Sometimes it's better just to try and ride it out, Sara.

Keep your head down and survive!

Keep your head down?

Is that what you've been doing all this time?

You've gotten to choose your side.

- You're scared of it? - Yes.

Listen to me. I want to...

- I need to drive. - No, Mary.

I said no.

You're a coward!

Mommy will be back tomorrow.

They won't let us speak to anyone.

There was no reporting on the GPUs.

There are places to hide if you think about it.

You can steal enough food from the kitchen without anyone noticing.

If you have an access to the food.

No-one could hide here for so long.

They don't shoot innocent people in Soviet Union.

And they don't force them to stay.

- Don't be naive son. - Is it naïve to have faith?

- I believe in the Soviet Union! - We do.

Long time.

Stalin is "father" to us all.

- Same here. - Yeah.

He's not my father.

Former Party leader Gylling imprisoned as an enemy of the people

Former Party leader Gylling imprisoned as an enemy of the people

Former Party leader Gylling imprisoned as an enemy of the people.

Hill is serious, right?

He's trying to get permits for those who want to leave.

Hill is right.

This well is running dry. You should leave too.

You should have told me this seven years ago.

And where would we go?

America, where else?

Pauli doesn't have an American passport.

Neither do I.

Can you fix us some?

- How was it? - All right.

We'll talk about it later.

- How was it? - Nothing.

You have to speak to Jussi.

Jussi!

Go ask Kallonen what will happen to Hopea.

You were sent here against your will.

They look at you differently.

You've already stood trial.

What are you talking about?

From what I heard in Leningrad,

they've taken...

a hundred Canadians from one of the farms to be executed.

Everyone will be killed.

The U.S. Embassy...

wouldn't even let me in.

I gave my word...

that the Soviet Union was the promised land.

- Hhh-hhh. - I lured these people here.

Jussi...

Try to talk to Kallonen.

Please.

Give us gratefull hearts, O' Father, for all by mercies...

and make us smile full of the needs of others.

Through Jesus Christ, we pray.

Amen.

- Amen. - Amen.

- Okay. - Oh.

- It looks wonderful. - I want that.

- Do you want another? - Thank you.

- Can I have some? - Mmm-hmm.

Whoo-hoo!

Ella is going to take me to Canada.

Is she now?

When she gets to Toronto, she'll invite me there.

Ella says it's a beautiful city.

Yeah?

Is that where our little girl wants to go?

Yeah.

- I really want to go. - Oh.

And I'm gonna take Pauli with me.

What did Hill mean when he said

that you know Kallonen better than the rest of us?

What do you mean?

That they think about you differently.

Are you friends with him or what?

I'm afraid he has no friends.

I'm only going go to town because John wants me to.

Will you be coming back?

Of course, I am.

For God's sake, Sara.

You've been next to me every day for years.

You should know me better than that.

You left your family in Finland.

Sara.

Come here.

You don't have the permit. You are coming with us.

You must be crazy to walk into the wolf's mouth.

Know how many of us are already gone?

That's what I came to ask about.

The people at the farm know nothing.

Let it go, brother.

Come in, please.

Thank you.

Only Party members are allowed to enter. There is a restaurant downstairs.

Come on, comrade. You know me.

You fucking Americans, I'm glad that your partying days are over.

Get out of here, "comrades"!

He is teaching you the basics of the communist principles?

Maybe, you'll finally learn.

- They're with me. - All right.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Attractive, but I just wanted to check if there are any familiar faces here.

There are. So, sit down.

It was sent to ask what is planned for Hopea?

Mmm.

Your people have been to Leningrad requesting for permission to leave.

That's no secret.

And I'm not surprised.

Foreign citizens have the right to leave.

And Finnish citizens?

Them too, I suppose.

Will comrade Kari leave...

and leave his family to the state to support?

Of course not.

But you still have been in contact with the Finnish Central Police?

Can't you fucking lunatic

- think of anything else? - Easy now, brother, easy.

For seven years, I have not received a single answer.

but these absurd accusations.

Meanwhile, there are a few hundred people waiting for information!

I asked a simple question: What is going to happen next?

What is next here?

Well, what does Kari know?

What do I know what?

No, Kari doesn't know a jack shit.

He spends his time raking manure.

Comrade Kari is good at shoveling shit.

Well! Sit down.

- Let's eat and drink... - This company doesn't spark my appetite.

Gentlemen.

Some other time.

Take care of yourself.

And your family.

I'll be okay.

I'm an eel.

Remember, you still owe me three bucks.

Take it and drink it.

This is the blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

God bless you.

Peace be with you.

Take it and eat it.

This is the flesh of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Take it and eat it.

This is the flesh of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Take it and eat it.

This is the flesh of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Take it and drink it.

This is the blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

God bless you.

Peace be with you.

Daddy?

- Mmm. - I'm tired.

Then sleep.

Autumn 1937

Go back inside!

Everybody back inside! Quickly!

We'll be all right. Put your clothes on.

Pack your things, quickly!

Where are your shoes?

He's small. Please, let's have a stop.

Children are not responsible for their parents' actions.

- Please. - I said no!

The women go into that truck, the men go into this one.

Mommy is here.

Pauli! Pauli! Don't be scared.

Mary will be with you.

- Mary, listen to Mommy. - Mary, listen to me.

You take care of Pauli now, okay?

Don't let Pauli out of your sight.

Kallonen!

- Kallonen! - Father!

Pauli, stay there!

Kallonen!

Where are you taking the children?

Fast child, to the car!

I'll be back!

Come here.

- It's all right. - I'm really scared.

- I got you. - Stop!

Give the child away! Say your goodbyes quickly.

No talking!

- Mommy has to give you away. - Where are you taking us?

Pauli!

Pauli!

- Stop! - Daddy.

- Pauli! - Get him to the truck!

- No! - Get him to the truck!

Pauli!

Pauli!

I want all of you to know...

what happens, at this moment, when the spirit leaves the body.

A new life awaits us.

And it is very important to remember that.

and not to feel any fear.

Peace be with you, my brothers.

You have already been sentenced to death by the court.

You've only been brought here to hear your verdict.

However, we hope that you support building the Soviet Union

by telling us what you knew about the spy ring...

sent here from America.

Your colleague, Strang,...

organized for spies to come here...

from Canada and the United States.

I have everything written down here.

All you have to do is sign it.

Sign on the line at the bottom.

You know that you helped Max Strang in his escape attempt.

You tried to send him to the West,

and with him all the information you had gathered at Hopea as a spy.

You also tried to send Ella Williams to Canada

without a permit to leave the country.

She has already confessed for her own part.

It is your name...

Jussi Kari.

Jussi Kari.

Jussi Kari.

Jussi Kari.

- Fine. - All right.

No...

Kallonen...

Kallonen...

don't...

Kallonen!

Sara!

Get him out of here!

Stop! Go back!

Forward! Move it!

Go!

Next!

Line up! Next!

Line up! Next!

Forward! Move!

Forward! Move! Forward! Move!

Move forward!

Move forward!

Stop! Get back on the line!

Down on your knees!

Move!

Not your time yet, friend.

How does it taste now, Jussi, the life I gave you?

This is how we build socialism here.

Here! Don't let him get away.

Keep going.

Winter 1938

Try it like this!

- Here. - Thanks.

What's your name?

Let's go!

Jussi!

Have the pigs learned to give information?

Do you have anything to report?

All I need to do is shout and they'll shoot you.

In less than a minute.

So shout.

Jussi!

Jussi!

Jussi!

Jussi!

Did Kallonen just leave?

Go after him. The spy is trying to escape.

- Quickly! - Move! Move! Move!

Do you realize what you have done?

He did not kill me.

He let me live.

PAULI AND JUSSI KARI

STOP! BORDER ZONE

Mother!

How do we continue from here?

We continue from where we left off.

During the Second World War

The Soviet Union and the United States

joined forces

to vanquish the fascism that raids throughout Europe.

What happened to over 10,000 American immigrants in the Soviet Union

was never spoken about.

After the destruction of the farm

we, the children of Hopea,

were taken to an orphanage in Vladivostok.

They wanted us to become good citizens in the land of the Soviets.

We were told to forget our parents

who had been executed as traitors and spies.

I never forgot my beautiful American mother.

And I often think about Jussi Ketola.

He was a good man

and like father to me.
