About Suomalaislapsia Ruotsiin
A touching documentary directed by Holger Harrivirta (1915-86) about Finnish children, about 70,000 of whom were sent to Sweden during the war years. The film's train of war children arrives from the Karelian Isthmus in the summer of 1944, travels via Kuopio and Haparanda to Stockholm. In Haparanda, there is a sauna and a medical examination, as well as a check of the surrender papers. Another batch of Karelian war children travels via Helsinki and Vaasa to Umeå in the summer of 1944.
Directed by Holger Harrivirta, Suomalaislapsia Ruotsiin leans on a strong ensemble — Veikko Itkonen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1944.
