The Cuckoo
Кукушка
In the final days of Finland's war in 1944, a Finnish sniper and a Soviet officer, each fleeing their armies, wind up sheltered by a Sami woman on her remote farm — three people with no common language and every reason to distrust each other. A wry, humane anti-war fable.
Why it’s here
A Russian-authored anti-war film set in Finnish Lapland, where a Finnish soldier, a Soviet soldier, and a Sámi woman confront war through mutually unintelligible languages.
