Silja – nuorena nukkunut

Directed by Jack Witikka

With Heidi Krohn, Jussi Jurkka, Aku Korhonen, Pentti Siimes and Tommi Rinne

In the 1910s, beautiful young Silja loses both parents and ends up working as a maid at wealthier farms around her village. She is courted by a number of bachelors, ranging from simple farmhand Väinö to sophisticated young student Armas whom she meets when working for a charming old professor. However, Silja's health starts to deteriorate, and when the Finnish Civil War breaks up in 1918, she is inadvertently involved in a small incident after which her loyalties are questioned by both the Reds and the Whites.
