Overview

The Unknown Soldier miniseries expands the story of the 2017 film of the same name. The World War II series based on Väinö Linna's classic novel closely follows a machine gun company of the Finnish Army on the Karelian front during the Continuation War between Finland and the Soviet Union, from mobilization in 1941 to the Moscow Armistice in 1944. It's a story about how camaraderie, humor, and a desire to survive connect men on their journey. War upends the lives of both the individual soldiers and those left on the home front, and leaves its mark on the entire nation.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A grounded, unflinching look at ordinary soldiers enduring the grinding brutality of the Continuation War, where bonds of brotherhood are tested by cold, hunger, and death. The series balances intimate moments of dark humor and connection with the relentless machinery of conflict that grinds on regardless.
