About Rakkauselokuva
The Torniainen are a couple consisting of Raija, a flight attendant, and Hanski, a civil engineer. They have long wanted to have a child. Tests show that Hanski is infertile, and the doctor offers little hope.
Directed by Anssi Mänttäri, Rakkauselokuva leans on a strong ensemble — Liisa Halonen, Antti Litja, Markku Toikka — 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 1984.
