An award-winning masterpiece about the invisible front of war.
Silence (2011), directed by Sakari Kirjavainen, is an exceptional war film that is set not in the trenches of the front line, but behind them – a place where war meets silence. The film is a touching and humane depiction of the interface between death and life in the last spring of the Continuation War.
The film was a critical success and was awarded no fewer than four Jussi Awards , including Best Actor ( Joonas Saartamo ) and Best Supporting Actor ( Ilkka Heiskanen ).
