This film is about a young 10 year old girl who has lost her father. This is also about who difficult it can be to be a minority in a any country.

This a film that actually moved me.

First of all because it's a Finnish film. And also a good

Second of all because it is about a minority in society.

It's quite interesting that today Swedish is a minority in Finland.. So if a film like this was done today it could be about an other minority.. many things have changed since the fifties..

One thing that really spoke to me was that the girl was so determined and brave to always do the right thing. I wish I had her courage!

It is a fantastic movie, worth seeing..For everybody who wants something to think about.
