Tears of April


Trailer




1918, the Finnish civil war. Red socialists and White bourgeois.
Tears of April is a movie about love in the midst of chaos. 

Prisoner of the Whites, Red guard troop leader Miina Malin, manages 
to escape only to be recaptured by jaeger Aaro Harjula. Against the 
general consensus, he does not wish for her senseless murder but 
for her to have a fair trail.

The meeting of Aaro and Miina binds two strong human stories 
together and sparks an edgy love theme in the midst of the horrors 
of the civil war.
