Väkevä Hiki

A film of brothers, fallen by the wayside in the turning point of history. Of a family, shattered by a world on fire. And of a small country in the darkness of past that grew them. BITTER SWEAT is the last Finnish film. It brings us to the land of our fathers, to smoky cottages and mossy forests, to a time before highways and celltowers. And brought up by this land are two brothers, living on their own terms, absent of civilisation. Without destination they push their way deeper into their own personal hell, into a world where superstition, male desires and painful memories combine into a reality of their own.
