About The Man Up North
In 1938, Finland is slowly coming out of a recession. Large amounts of nickel have been found from Petsamo in Lapland and a mine is underway. Dreaming of a new life, metal worker Eino Forsell and his family head there for a new beginning.
Directed by Emilia Kovanen, The Man Up North leans on a strong ensemble — Kalle Salo, Saana Niemelä, Kari PJ Ketonen — 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 drama titles of 2025.
