A stirring homage to bravery and the fighting spirit.

Imagine a small country that only recently declared its independence, suddenly faced with invasion by the world's largest army: Stalin’s Red Army. Columns of tanks against old rifles. A million Red soldiers against workers and farmers.
But past conflicts tell us that it takes five trained soldiers to take on one man fighting for his turf, his homeland, and his people, his hands clutching his rifle, standing sentry behind the door of his barricaded farmhouse.
And one man alone can change the course of history. At the heart of the deadliest war in its history, Finland saw the birth of a legend. The legend of Simo Häyhä, the White Death.
Once there were happy days, a cherished peace. Once upon a time, just before hell came.
