Synopsis:

Tali-Ihantala 1944 is an episode movie based firmly on actual events. The film depicts the largest battle in the history of the nordic countries, which ended in a decisive Finnish victory which ultimately ensured Finnish independence. The movie tells a story about individual men and units in combat, in which survival demanded luck but also the ability to with stand brutal toughness and cruelty. Only the few survived and out of those only fewer are still alive today. This is a story about those who defended our country.

The Soviet army breaks through the Finnish defences on the Karelian Isthmus in June 1944, advancing with overwhelming force. Somehow, the Finnish troops must find the strength to fight back, with all odds against them. The Battle of Tali-Ihantala was the largest battle ever fought in the history of the Nordic countries. This film depicts the true events through five separate stories.
