About Tapahtui kaukana
Young woman flies to Lapland together with her father and his new female friend whom the daughter dislikes. On a lonely skiing-trip across the vast wilderness, the young lady ends up in a shack inhabited by two research engineers and a funny old Lapland man who sees peculiar dreams.
Directed by Topo Leistelä, Edvin Laine, Tapahtui kaukana leans on a strong ensemble — Helena Kara, Joel Rinne, Kullervo Kalske — 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 comedy titles of 1950.
