About Juha
Juha lives together with younger woman Marja. Juha loves her, but Marja seems to belong to somewhere else. Things get complicated when casanova Shemeikka arrives from strange lands and takes Marja away with him.
Directed by T.J. Särkkä, Juha leans on a strong ensemble — Elina Pohjanpää, Eino Kaipainen, Veikko Uusimäki — 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 1956.
