Synopsis:

An episode from the Civil War of Finland, from its decisive battle of Tampere. Based on documents, it is the story of Erik Melin's company of the White Army, its 212 men who managed to penetrate the Red front and proceed over the Tammerkoski falls to the Näsilinna castle on 3 April, 1918. Documentary materials are incorporated in the enactment of the attack of the company who fights without military colours, managing to surprise and conquer Reds in every turn. Much of the film has been shot in close-ups in the manner of Samuel Fuller's low budget The Big Red One.

Conquest of the Näsilinna Palace is a war film about the key moments of the Finnish Civil War in 1918. The troops are getting ready to invade Näsilinna Palace.
